Are you ready for more Start to Finish layouts? I have another one that I finished this weekend to share with you below. Today’s layout was based on another one that I found on 2Peas by johnmac44 that I totally fell in love with. The first thing that I did
Yesterday I shared with you one of the 8 layouts that I created this past weekend. Today, I am going to be sharing with you another one that I entitled Happy. I started this layout by finding inspiration over at 2Peas. I came across the layout below by Jenny Evans
This weekend, the new Stella Says Sketch #104 was released and I couldn’t wait to play along. The sketch was pretty straight forward and easy to recreate and I totally just went with it. The first thing I knew was that I wanted to use a Bugaboo image. I pulled
