Sweet Little Twins

My cousin just had the most beautiful little twin girls. I wanted to make them something special that they could treasure forever. The problem is, with working full-time, being a mom to three kids and a wife to the fourth, doing Scentsy parties and CTMH classes and Christmas trade shows, I do not have time to sit and make albums like I usually do for new babies in the family.

I decided I would make them DVD mini albums. this idea is totally inspired by an album I received in a swap last year. i don’t know who made it, but she is very talented.

Here is my take:

Courage

I recently met a fellow CTMH sister, Cary Brunett, and I am so happy to have a new scrapping friend. I love all of my scrapping friends from the city, but Cary may be the only one who understands my Close To My Heart addiction. She is super sweet and invited me to come to her monthly crop. i jumped at the opportunity. She is so talented and I have so much hat I can learn from her. I am very excited about getting to know her better. I met with her group on Friday and we made this excellent layout. The word I picked was “courage”. It is a big one for me this year, as I want to both have a voice and take more risks. The journaling will include me being able to say no more often and for me to be able to take risks, like opening a scrapbooking/book store in Outlook.
