his Always Thinking of You project is a mixed media scrapbook page featuring Stampin' Up!'s Rooted in Nature Suite.
This was originally supposed to be the first mixed media page I shared with you al,l but it got bumped in lieu of the pink blog hop.
I am always thinking about my kids hence the page title and my reasons for memory keeping in the first place.
I chose the Rooted in Nature suite for this page because I love the patterns and colours, and OBVIOUSLY because I am my kids' roots. It was meant to be! HAHA
