- Scalloped border: from September 2009 Bunches of Borders set by Crystal Wilkerson
- Photo corner: from the Princesa Elements Set by Jessica Sprague
I think my favorite part are the little red markery handprints along the edges. She had obviously been hard at work on other projects before launching into this one, which is full of her pure childlike love and generosity (she’s giving Jared a huge bundle of flowers).
Since these pages will be spreads in the Shutterfly book I’ll make from these, I wanted them to coordinate somewhat, so I’ll be sticking mainly to the papers from the Holidays in Hand class, and from Crystal’s December collection, and then tucking in some other bits here and there. :)
