Genie Balfour — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 10:23:31 +0000

Oh, I doooo love a good sale ... winter sale, spring sale, super summer sale, end-of-line sale - whatever, lol! Whether it's scrapbooking products, clothes or technology, I'd rather wait a little and save money than pay high prices for the newest products. It must be my Scots blood, lol.

Our new scrapbooking sketch has a light-hearted feel to it; think party, celebration and the like. Don't you think it would be great for a circus theme layout?
