We are currently having a snow storm and it sure looks like Spring is a long way away. Hopefully the layout I have to show you today with the bright colors, butterflies and bees will help remind us that Spring really is just around the corner.
A few weeks ago my daughter, Malinda, and I went shopping at local antique stores and found this darling pictures of a 5 year old little boy taken in 1915. What a perfect picture to make a vintage scrapbook layout with that included butterflies and bees!
This layout showcases Heartfelt Creations Sunny Day Paper Collection perfectly!
