I don’t know if I can narrow it down to just one thing! I love the banner, the cupcake border at the bottom, the matting on the large photo, the colorful papers, the little balloon animal sticker, the punched border, and the photos of the absolutely adorable birthday boy! The best part of birthdays? Being made to feel like the most important person on the face of the earth for one whole day! :-D
I don’t typically like pages that have this much going on because I think it detracts from the pictures, but this page REALLY works. Love it. And as Barb said, I can’t narrow it down to just one thing’… Wonderful page !
Is there anywhere I can find the specific sizes of circles the Custom Cutting system can make? I am considering buying the circle kit, but I need to know what the actual possible sizes are. Thank you!
