I will always cherish these times, so it was really great re-living it by making a mini album of that special day.   I used some really fun files from Lettering Delights , both the album and the elements are from LD. I just loved that owl, it's so cute! I also used Fall colors of my Trendy Twine and the papers are a mix of digital and scrapbook papers. My favorite are the ones from Imaginisce. I also used some markers from Ranger, the distress Picket Fence and Antique Linen.   To make some of my embellishments I just poked some holes and ...
