Story Time

Another baby book layout made with Jean.  This one Jean put together.  The mats are all cut with a Spellbinder die and the idea was for a fun, bright, reading layout.  We all love to read to our children and that is what inspired this page.
 
Elmo is from the Sesame Street Friends Cricut Cartridge
Pooh and Tigger are from the Pooh and Friends Cricut Cartridge
Story Time is from the Sugar & Spice Cricut Cartridge
The dies are all from a Spellbinders Labels Seventeen dies.  The journal spot is the 2 smallest dies in the set. We also embossed these photo mats.  This gives the mats extra dimension.
