Hey there! In honor of the Redskin playoff game today and my nephew's birthday, I am sharing this card with you all.

All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth Layout

Happy New Year everyone. I hope you all had a great holiday. I made a scrapbook page today of my grandson who is missing his two front teeth. It's so cute hearing him talk without his teeth. I took a picture of him smiling big so that I could make a layout of him. I saw the challenge over at Die Cuttin Divas (Challenge 96: A Sketch for 2013) and used that sketch to make the scrapbook page. I'm not too good at layouts so starting with that sketch helped me design it.
