DeleteI love these pages! I just started scrapbooking, so I'm always looking for inspiration and what supplies I'll need. What did you use for the letters?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I use my circuit to cut out my letters; but when I was just starting out I mostly stuck with stickers.
DeleteYour scrapbook came out really nice. I bought some but never put any together. I think this is definitely something I have to start doing soon since my kids are getting bigger. I'd love for them to have their own. Thank you for linking up with us at #OMHGWW
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you find the time and motivation to work on a few pages because I think once you start you'll love it.
