Birthday scrapbook ...

I am SO not a scrapper. I'd really love to be better at it, but it just doesn't come easy to me. Scrapbooking takes commitment and perseverance, and unfortunately, I have very short attention span. My project for little L's 5th birthday took me 5 long months and I think that this scrapbook was quite an achievement!
Someday I will be a scrapper, but right now, I think I'll stick to cards and minibooks.
