This is an adorable idea! I love! :]
For the punch outs. . . it seems like there's a dark outline around the flower and circle. Did you do something to get this effect?
Love your blog. I'll definitely be a regular.
These are so cute!! I love the idea of a mini brag book. Great tutorial!
Wow SUPER SUPER CUTE! Thanks! What fonts do you use? I'd like to make other notes to match!
Can you tell me what fonts you used, in particular, the "special" and "grandma's" in this segment. Also, what fonts you used in the teacher appreciation segment as well. Thanks.
Where have I been in this world? This is the first time I've come across your blog. And I've got to say….in a hopefully, not stalker-ish way….I'M IN LOVE. The photos, the style, the simplicity, the graphics….on and on and on. Really, at the top of my favorites list. Thanks for sparking about 1,000 new ideas for me.
Thank you so much for this cute idea! Love it! My daughter and her best friend are making these together this weekend at their sleepover. We are military families and moving apart from each other this summer. So they will use these as little remember me books for each other. I can't wait. I will send you a pic when they are done!
