Layout number 5 is my absolute favourite … “Unbelievably Blessed”. This layout holds 13 photos! Stitching with fibre and adding brads with the most beautiful butterflies just brought this awesome layout to life!

We do have a few spots available for the first weekend if you are wanting to join us. Dates are the 2nd to the 4th of September. How exciting to scrap together as Spring begins.
