  1. thank you for this nice blog hop.I have enjoyed it.
    I've been to all the blogs but
    Clear Scraps http://clearscraps.typepad.com/ wasn't update.
    my sentence: TRY NOT .(to be.......) A PERSON OF SUCCESS BUT A PERSON OF VALUE.

    I think this is a very true sentence for everyone, not only scrapping people.

  4. The words I found on these amazing blogs...Try not to become a person of success but a person of value.

    I had a wonderful time on this blog hop. The projects that I saw were out of this world. I think it is amazing to see how different people see a piece of paper and turn it into something that will be cherished by family and friends. I came away with so much inspiration and many more ideas on what I want to do with my scrapbooking. And I have 3 more blogs on my bookmark page to check out for more inspiration later on. Thankyou for putting this blog hop together.
