I pressed the leaves between some heavy books and newspaper for about 3 days. Then I used CS book binding glue to put them on white paper and also brushed the top of the leaves with the glue. The paper and stickers are from a Family and friends small 8x8 stack from DCWV and I inked the edges of all the papers and pictures.

How sweet is that gift? She did a great job, and her friend will certainly love it :angel: Not too much color out here, unless you are in the high country!

Thanks all, you are too kind. It was a fun little project. It is too cute because Shannon is 4 and Emma just turned 5 so they are so excited to be getting mail!! They live in such different parts of the country, we live on Cape Cod. This should be a really fun learning experience for both of them. ;)
