Memory Book

You know all those funny and precious things little children say? My son's preschool teacher has said several times how much she wishes she had a book where she could write them down. As an end-of-year thank you gift, I decorated an empty art journal for her to keep.


This was also my first time making a gathered ribbon flower. Cute, isn't it! Click here to see the video tutorial I followed to make it. (tutorial by Jeniesbarn)


I also made a coordinating card for Lincoln's teacher. I think I got a little rhinestone happy, but that's alright. :)
