"Year Noted"
I created this Kraft Mini Book to celebrate National Papercrafting Month with Close To My Heart. We have all been invited to create something that can help reflect on our accomplishments and memories of the past year and journal our goals for the new year. For this project, I will not be sharing step-by-step directions, however, I will be sharing pages from my mini book that showcase how the products included in the kit can be used to make your "Year Noted" book.
