My newest scrap kit Little Boy Birthday. Wow this one means a lot to me.
Inspired by my youngest turning 3 on the 26th. While I would design he loved
to sit on my lap & watch it. His favorite part is the red car in the kit. He absolutely loves cars so I had to include one. I hope you all enjoy! It is now available in stores at below links.
