For the background I used CTMH stamps.. love the dots!

Page two of Zoe's book

Good morning everyone!  

turn back Julia if you are reading..

My house is chilly.. last night I noticed that the fan on the furnace won't turn off - a big sign that something is wrong.  Now it is blowing cool air or room temp air?? I have booked someone to come in but they won't be here until tomorrow between 4-8... so I guess I will have to just chill out!!  hahahah lol 

Any how I have another page for Zoe's book - page two... this is actually the backside of the title page. Love when I don't need to use different papers - leaves me more to play with ;)

Loving those cheverons!

Shhh Julia turn away now...  

Now that Christmas has passed I have finally been able to get started on Zoe's book. My cousin had the cutest baby and I wanted to make a special album for her.  I have left space for my cousin to put in the pictures she likes and the size she need.  Added a felt ribbon and ctmh heart stamps that I have been itching to use!    Love how it turned out

Here is the title page
