Patriotic Scrapbook Layout by Linda Auclair

By on May 22, 2012 in Paper Crafts, Patriotic, Scrapbooking

Linda enjoyed the Collage Trim Kit so much that she couldn’t stop with just the wallhanging! So, she created a layout to share using the same paper collection and leftover buttons from the supply list on the Patriotic Wall Art from last week. She was able to chaperone her youngest daughter’s recent class trip to the NH State House, and took a bazillion photos!
