I made this Christmas layout because it captures how sweet my little granddaughter Autumn is. She really took her time opening her gift so as not to ruin the pretty packaging!
I used the We R Memory Keepers Easy Sew Floss to do the flower stitching around my layout. The little paper squares were stamped, inked and distressed for added texture.
