I’m always on the look-out for wood “containers” when I go to thrift stores. Anything like a little box, organizer or or tray like this one (I think it was $2): I love to cover them with pretty papers and put them around my house. At CutCardStock, we are taking the month of September to…
Let’s welcome baby from his birth day to birthday, the first year. I recently created this album for a friend who had a baby. Their little one’s name is Colton and she asked if I wouldn’t mind making it with blue, green and brown. The pages of the album are Basis White. The Basis papers…
