We had so much fun on this vacation! We really love California. It is one of our favorite places to visit. But the highlight of our trip, was meeting my good friend Yvette and her kids. She is a Kidney Cancer survivor, just like me. We have been talking on Facebook and on the phone for years, and this was the first time we were able to meet face to face. It was magical!</div>

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally I am getting around to bloggin again. I've been very sick with the Shingles for the past month and that was not fun at all!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, right before I got sick, I was able to celebrate Mother's Day with my mom and my mother-in-law.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I bought these cute little bags for just $.25 cents! Can you believe it? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_KiHrCiATP_LFpNibVYbrX89NS-YjP5mgMRMRiOahGs5q3wqXyFdg7_1WarfQ3ReXqsSxoNnf2pu989nd7WokU85qSgNQMZSWNlwBj04TX5TlupXdmqPLh0dg6ENyNjueNPKvzUd_ndaX/s1600/mother%2527s+day+bags.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="bolsitas de regalo" border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_KiHrCiATP_LFpNibVYbrX89NS-YjP5mgMRMRiOahGs5q3wqXyFdg7_1WarfQ3ReXqsSxoNnf2pu989nd7WokU85qSgNQMZSWNlwBj04TX5TlupXdmqPLh0dg6ENyNjueNPKvzUd_ndaX/s400/mother%2527s+day+bags.jpg" title="handmade gift bags" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hot-glued some flowers and buttons to the bags and placed the gifts inside along with some mini gift tags I cut out with my Cricut. They no longer look like $.25 cent bags, huh? :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the same little store I found these cute bags, I found these hand fans for just $1.00 and just made them pretier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hand-rolled some flowers, and the butterfly cut-outs from the little tags to decorate the fans. Aren't they pretty? Everyone was very happy with their fans and just loved them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just some ideas about not spending a lot of money to make some cute last minute gifts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope that you liked them and that it inspires you to create.</div>

I have been away on <a href="http://inthislittlecornerblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/california-vacation-2015.html" target="_blank">vacation</a>, so that's the reason for my silence. We went to <a href="http://inthislittlecornerblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/california-vacation-2015.html" target="_blank">California </a>and it was AWESOME! The weather was a perfect upper 50's, we had a chance to rest and to see and do things we haven't seen or done ever. It was glorious!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tomorrow is National Scrapbooking Day and I'm sooooo ready!</div>

Hola everyone! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hope
you had a great weekend! It is
Spring!! My favorite season of the
year. The flowers are bluming, the birds
are chirping… and I have a cute bird nest on one of my plants. I love it!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My grandmother called me a couple of weeks ago, asking for
one of “those gorgeous cards you make” for the girl who she used to care for from 2
months old until she went to pre-school.
She is now turning 15, and grandma wants a Quinceañera card for her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hit the Internet for inspiration, and then I remembered: I
have some Julie Nutting stamps!! I'll use my Julie Nutting stamps for this card. I chose
“Olive”:<o:p></o:p></div>

I stamped “Feliz Cumpleaños” several times on the olive
colored carstock (see the pun? “Olive” on olive paper…lol) and I stamped Olive in several papers, and pieced her back
together with patterned paper for her dress, shoes and headband. <br />
<br />
For the flowers and leaves, I got the cut files from <a href="http://www.birdhousestamps.com/?page_id=894" target="_blank">here</a>, and placed a
white enamel dot on each one. <br />

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've been so busy with work, time has just flown by. In addition, I am sick with the <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/chikungunya/" target="_blank">Chikungunya Virus</a>. Everything hurts!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Trying to get my mind off how sick I feel, I sat in my scrap-room and decided to do an LO of some cute pictures of my brother. I read on the <a href="https://thedailydigi.com/" target="_blank">Daily Digi</a> that it's ok to use flowers on a "manly" LO, so I decided to scraplift one of <a href="https://thedailydigi.com/using-flowers-on-scrapbook-pages-about-boys" target="_blank">Heddy's </a>LO's for this layout. Keep in mind that hers is a digital layout, while mine was done with paper.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqP9WtGlqLfZqksbzOWHAZgWcmYbhkTuzBrwi1wcaiTf9meiwtUYNkTMDrBru0U8k89tCOii248ze_U9t3ZC0oxLQb4V0cIDQd3eAp26ePTRsg4wUQb1NvVGyY3pEq2nut9mrIUdvDd25L/s1600/iheartursmile4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="scrapbook page about my brother" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqP9WtGlqLfZqksbzOWHAZgWcmYbhkTuzBrwi1wcaiTf9meiwtUYNkTMDrBru0U8k89tCOii248ze_U9t3ZC0oxLQb4V0cIDQd3eAp26ePTRsg4wUQb1NvVGyY3pEq2nut9mrIUdvDd25L/s1600/iheartursmile4.jpg" height="400" title="Using flowers on a boy scrapbook page" width="397" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
For this layout I used American Crafts cardstock in white and green, DCWV "The Snapshot Stack" cardstock and thickers for the alpha. The paint, brads and flowers are from my stash and the circle was done with the cap of a large can.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love how the stamps and colors complement the picture. And the flowers don't make it feminine, do they?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope you like my newest creation and it inspires you to create!</div>
<div>

Peace and healthy days!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">There were many things shared throught the years. Over 25 years of memories! And although life separated us for a bit, our friendship never died. When we got reunited many years later, it was as if we had never been apart.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">She loved life. She loved her friends. She loved her family, and specially her children. It has been very difficult for me these past days. I miss my friend!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Her obituary read like this: "I<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;">sabel Cristina (Pinky to her family and to those very close to her), was an extraordinary 43 years young woman and a hard working dedicated teacher, always in search of knowledge. She completed 2 Master Degrees (Education and School Management), and a PHD(c) in Higher Education. With her special sense of humor, she always kept everyone smiling. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;">Devoted mother of 2 outstanding kids, that made her very proud every day. Loving and selfless daughter, granddaughter, sister, cousin, niece and friend. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;">She was one of those special Shooting Stars that "live" in the universe, brightening many souls on Earth. Like the destiny of some stars, called Red stars, her life ended with a great burst of light that was seen by many, near and far. This left an enormous hole in our lives. But as it happens in the universe, that "Astronomical Hole" will be for eternity, filled with Pinky's positive energy...</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;">A loving and tender soul that in many ways touched our lives and that in a new way, will be with us forever. This is how we will all remember Pinky."</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;">Yes... I will remember my friend forever. It broke my heart that I wasn't able to be in her funeral. It was held in Florida and when I searched, the plane tickets were extremely expensive from Puerto Rico to Orlando. So, I sent her some flowers and did the best next thing: a symbolic memorial, at the beach with some dear friends of ours:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am so grateful to have had her as a friend. I even dedicated her an <a href="http://inthislittlecornerblog.blogspot.com/2014/07/echo-park-best-friends-part-1.html" target="_blank">LO I made about friendship</a>. I sent her many gifts these past couple of years she had lived in Florida. </span>Her parents moved her to Florida after she got really sick.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am so grateful for the many hours she spent in the hospital with my dad; she never failed to visit him whenever he was hospitalized. She would watch him sleep for hours if needed... he always scolded her for not waking him up... We cried together over the phone when my dad passed away; she was in so much pain! She loved him as one of her own. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On January 2, a couple of weeks before her death, she posted this message to my father on Facebook. </span></div>

Hola everyone!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope your year is starting as amazing as mine has. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am playing in the <a href="http://scrapping4funchallenges.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Scrapping4Fun Challenges</a> blog's DT Challenge and Guest Designer’s Challenge. The Challenge is to create a card, layout or anything using this sketch as inspiration:</div>

<br />
<div>
I've done so many cards in the past months for different swaps, that a layout was long overdue. I hit my photo stash and found this cute picture of my 3 year old nephew on his 3rd birthday. </div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
His birthday was a bittersweet celebration for us... it was just the day after my father's burial. He was trying so hard to make everyone smile! And he achieved it! This face is so lovable and laughable, that I just had to create a layout with it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used American Crafts and My Mind's Eye paper, which I stitched the border with my sewing machine. The button and string is American Crafts as well. The half beads were made by me!! Yep, I recycled some old plastic beads by melting them in the oven (400 F for 10 minutes or until melted). Jake the Pirate was printed from <a href="http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Jake_(Pirate)" target="_blank">here</a>, and all other images used, were printed off the internet. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had tons of fun making this LO. Hope you like it!!! Happy 2015!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Besitos,</div>

Happy New 2015 and Happy Three Kings Day! Here in Puerto Rico we celebrate today in the most beautiful way. Kids will leave grass for the camels the night before and the Three Kings will leave presents under their beds. Love our traditions!!</div>

By the way, did you know that here in Puerto Rico we have the longest Christmas season in the Planet? Check out <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/destinations/2014/12/27/goescape-puerto-rico-holiday/20811713/" target="_blank">this USA Today report</a> for all the details! I <span style="color: #990000;"><b>LOVE</b></span> my Island!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wow! 2015 has started super awesome for me and my family. We have had so much fun this Holiday Season and most importantly, we were able to spend some awesome time as a family. It has been one of the best Holiday Seasons ever!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've also been very busy creating in my Scraproom. In a swap group I participate on Facebook, we were asked to make Three Wise Men (Three Kings) ATCs for the January swap. It is my first time making ATCs and I loved it! </div>

I used playing cards for the base, printed a music sheet jpeg from Google and used <a href="http://timholtz.com/" target="_blank">Tim Holtz</a> distressing in Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserves to distress the edges. </div>

She was the best and shipped it over here! Did I mention that I am in love with my tree?<br />

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've been working on some Christmas cards for the past few weeks. I love the challenges posted in some groups in Facebook. It motivates me to create.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's my latest creation. A Snowman Card!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLeNQQi2VaZ74VVNaBS0hVQF5P6f6zhM3a_X2X52_CWjXlg4_BG4au0JfsEYKAUT_HXp8M5U_83YAAhKOEl5eo3ygnYwBlqvNx98WYtQI2CBuAIhkbBlgtiFG8Kj85L1Ur0PfgXGSjd-93/s1600/snowman+card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="tarjeta muneco de nieve" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLeNQQi2VaZ74VVNaBS0hVQF5P6f6zhM3a_X2X52_CWjXlg4_BG4au0JfsEYKAUT_HXp8M5U_83YAAhKOEl5eo3ygnYwBlqvNx98WYtQI2CBuAIhkbBlgtiFG8Kj85L1Ur0PfgXGSjd-93/s1600/snowman+card.jpg" height="400" title="handmade snowman card" width="326" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I got the image from <a href="http://freedeariedollsdigistamps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>, which also inspired me on the design of the card. I used sequins for the snow, and the stamp "Let it Snow!" is a clear stamp I got from <a href="http://www.orientaltrading.com/" target="_blank">Oriental Trading</a> a looooong time ago.<br />
<br />
Hope you like it and inspires you to create!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Happy </span><span style="color: #783f04;">Thanksgiving</span>!!!</b><br />
<br />
Peace and healthy days!<br />
<br />
Besitos,<br />

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There have been a series of things going on in <a href="http://welcome.topuertorico.org/">Puerto Rico</a> that have made <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/two-jailed-puerto-rico-over-killing-military-family-053455509.html;_ylt=AwrBJR7grG5UI0AAOGzQtDMD">front news</a> in several news portals... I am ashamed of what is going on, and I really wish I could do something about it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love my island and its people. My family lives here, my friends are here, I work here... My life is here. But everthing that has been going on, makes me wonder if I should consider doing what a LOT of puertorricans are doing: moving to other states.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I want to have hope. I want to see things get better. And tonight, watching American Horror Story in my DVR, I came across this monologue which touched me deeply, so I decided to share with you:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglv0oymuS5zEPMJRhiN-_GIB2d9gtceP8SdSqLUNFcDnYeLAXgapYLrsVTEJoOiOz1_aPs7yVhGzW8Zgx0ypi1jaUVT1qVrSbsBrXqayT7FmhrVAIQ43Hklqod5ZBMRwFlXDNtiR5VIs14/s1600/ethelseason4ep7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="ethel's monologue american horror story" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglv0oymuS5zEPMJRhiN-_GIB2d9gtceP8SdSqLUNFcDnYeLAXgapYLrsVTEJoOiOz1_aPs7yVhGzW8Zgx0ypi1jaUVT1qVrSbsBrXqayT7FmhrVAIQ43Hklqod5ZBMRwFlXDNtiR5VIs14/s1600/ethelseason4ep7.jpg" height="400" title="ethel's monologue american horror story season 4 episode 7" width="298" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I agree. We need to take control. We need to stop conforming with what is placed before us. Let it be taxes, criminality, unemployment... We need to take a stand and rebel as a country against all the injustice, against all the wickedness. It is time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Peace and healthy days to you all.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Besitos,</div>

I told you I had worked several projects with just one kit. ONE KIT!! lol </div>

This is a gorgeous <a href="http://www.echoparkpaper.com/collections/mini-themes/best-friends.html">Mini Theme Kit by Echo Park</a> called "Best Friends". I was able to work several projects, and this is the 3rd one. It is a Toilet Paper Roll Mini Album, and as you all know I love to repurpose things, you can imagine this is one of my favorite projects to do. </div>

<div>
As promised, here is part 2 of my Echo Park "<a href="http://www.echoparkpaper.com/collections/mini-themes/best-friends.html">Best Friends</a>" Kit projects. Like I mentioned before, it is a gorgeous kit, and I was able to work several projects with it. I still have one whole sheet and some of the stickers left! </div>

For this card, I used <a href="http://www.americancrafts.com/default.aspx?PageID=69&CategoryID=69&ProductID=6612&ItemID=8270&RootCatCode=01000">American Crafts</a> twine and scraps from the <a href="http://inthislittlecornerblog.blogspot.com/2014/07/echo-park-best-friends-part-1.html">first project</a>. As you know, I love to repurpose things, this time pieces of cardboard. Thick cardboard. This I used to create the 3D effect on the telephone stamp and the sentiment. I like using cardboard versus using 3D dots or thick double sided tape. </div>

This past week in my spare time, I was able to work with the Echo Park Mini Theme Kit, "<a href="http://www.echoparkpaper.com/collections/mini-themes/best-friends.html" target="_blank">Best Friends</a>". It is a beautiful kit with gorgeous double sided pages and a sticker page. I was able to make several projects, which I will be unveiling in the upcoming days. For now, let me show you the LO I made with this awesome kit, dedicated to one of my best friends. </div>

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope you are having a great week! It is very, very hot here in Puerto Rico. The worst part is the humidity! So hot and sticky!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I recently bought a couple of Smash Books on eBay, which were only $10 each with free shipping. Now the question is, what are they? How do I use them?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPILUfKHRPVgI6FHV2jsyQCotQL1eEVWC5xdN1gNZO_84hXJLLUD-2xE-ejUG-pXQ6saF7lMFIvzWL6n3AKbpfnWHPEB_NUudomPNRS6OBznM8fJr83eWZfi-08-by6LiQamxpr2_BTE3j/s1600/smash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPILUfKHRPVgI6FHV2jsyQCotQL1eEVWC5xdN1gNZO_84hXJLLUD-2xE-ejUG-pXQ6saF7lMFIvzWL6n3AKbpfnWHPEB_NUudomPNRS6OBznM8fJr83eWZfi-08-by6LiQamxpr2_BTE3j/s1600/smash.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had heard a lot about smash books for the past couple of years, but never really paid any attention... until I saw what I think is a great deal on the books. I've also heard about Project Life and I was wondering, what is the difference between the two? I asked my very knowledgable friend, Google, and I found these two videos that explain really well what the difference is.</div>

<br />
As an avid scrapbooker, I think I will use my brand new Red and Black Smash Books instead of doing a Project Life. I like to make a mess of paper, glue and embellishments; it's my favorite hobby!<br />
<br />
What do you think? Smash book or Project Life?<br />
<br />
Peace and healthy days!<br />
<br />
Besitos,<br />

It is also the time of the year I've been dreading... Father's Day. I lost my father in January 15th... He had a 2 year battle with <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000583.htm" target="_blank">Multiple Myeloma</a>. I am in Peace. I am glad he is no longer suffering.</div>

In his honor, I made this card for Challenge #18 of<a href="http://scrapping4funchallenges.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"> Scrapping4FunChallenges</a>. He was a contractor and wood worker, and he loved his tools.</div>

Wow, time sure flies!! I thought it was just a few days since my last post... And I almost forgot to update my blog for the <a href="http://scrapping4funchallenges.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Scrapping4Fun </a>Happy Mother's Day challenge!<br />
<br />
I designed this mini after buying something that came in some awesome plastic boxes. I was throwing them away, when all of a sudding "light bulb!" I can make some minis and place them here for gift giving!<br />
<br />

The mini turned out to be 3 x 2 1/2. I used scraps to complete it, along with a felt flower.</div>

Hola everyone! <br />
<br />
Hope you are enjoying your Spring Break! It is a bit rainy here in sunny Puerto Rico, but it usually is on Good Friday. I like it because the temperature is nice and is not as hot has it has been the past few weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Last year I babysat my nephew and my niece (they are now 3 and 8) and we had a blast on the playground. So, that's my theme for Challenge #14 of<a href="http://scrapping4funchallenges.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"> Scrapping4FunChallenges</a>, where as you all know, I am a DT.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used DCWV and American Crafts cardstock. The washi tape at the bottom is My Mind's Eye and all the park embellishments are from a kit I purchased a <a href="https://www.misskatecuttables.com/products/product/playing-in-the-park.php" target="_blank">Miss Kate Cuttables</a>, but instead of cutting it, I used the included JPEG to print and cut the embellies. Unfortunatelly I have no idea where I got the polaroid camera... it is cute, isn't it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you have a splendind Easter Sunday! Thanks for stopping by and hope I inspired you to create!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hope you had a WONDERFUL week and an even better weekend! I am finally feeling better, after another bout of bronchitis that has kept me home for over 2 weeks. At least this time I didn't end up in the hospital... that would've been the worst! LOL</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I share with you my DT entry for Challenge #14 of <a href="http://scrapping4funchallenges.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Scrapping4FunChallenges</a>. This is a mini-album I made for my friend Susannah, who came to visit from Texas. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used brown paper bags for the pages, to which I added tags for additional picture or journaling space. Most of the embelishments are digital clipart I found online, which I printed and cut. </div>
