Some Christmas presents

For Christmas, I made my great neice Skylar a 6x6 scrapbook. I titled it "Skylar's Book of Firsts" and it included pages for very important "firsts" in her life such as first day, first bath, first smile, etc. It was a very easy project once I sat down and decided what I wanted to include. The paper pack is a retired paper pack from CTMH called Between Friends. I had not used it yet and it worked out perfectly for the album. The stamp set was Baby Steps.









This was a set of Thank you cards I made for my grandsons to send out. I got the idea from another consultant.
