Clip It Up... Cheap!

I love the Clip It Up system, the round version. I think I work better when I can see everything... so the cheap in me created this version... lol! Total price... under $10! The self was already there, but even still they are like $4 anyways. It was just some eye hooks, a wooden dowel, some S hooks ( an entire bag of like 40 was $1 at Walmart), and small bull dog clips (I already had but are fairly cheap). So next time I sit down to do a layout I remember I have all this stuff! LOL

DT Dare!

I lurk on this A Scrappin Friendsy all the time and they have this contest going on... it might just be for design team members but as soon as I read it, I knew I need to send in my layout! It is a contest for the most pics on one Layout! I did this layout a little while back but I found when I scrapbook to record an event I tended to use a ton of pics! I do less of that kind of scrapbooking now but i scrapped the crap out of my son's 1st year! :)

The contest is... DT Dares 3/16 - 3/22
