"I'm so sad that summer is winding to a close.  It seems like school just got out a week ago and we are gearing up to go back.  Thankfully, my scrapbooking hobby allows me to preserve the memories- both big and small- so that we can remember them forever!  Loops & Scoops is the perfect collection to scrap your summer memories!  I love using small photos to create fun film strips when I want to use a lot of photos on a layout.  I also love to cut out letters and pop them up with foam tape as a part of my title.  Loops & Scoops has a whole sheet of words and phrases that's perfect for doing that with!"
