Learn to Fly.
Posted by Michelle on December 27th, 2011 . Filed under: Christmas, Design Team Work, Gift Packaging, Glitz Design, It's in the Bag!, Waltzingmouse Stamps .I’ll be the first to tell you that I don’t put a lot of time in to my crafts.
That doesn’t mean though that I don’t put a lot of thought or heart in to them. I wanted to give my daughter a little book for Christmas. Some sort of female affirmation book. I want her to grow up to be strong and confident and know how much love we all have for her. So I got some coasters and started adhering great sentiments and pieces from Glitz’s Dance in Sunshine collection.
When I was done I had this little Learn to Fly book. I thought this was perfect to start with as that really is my goal: nurture her and give her wings so that she can fly with grace and beauty…all on her own.
I’m not a scrapbooker so I don’t really know if there are rules or an art to journaling, so I just wrote what I wanted where I wanted. She’s only 7 so I kinda had to keep it simple.
I inked the edges of my chipboard coasters to give the book more of that vintage feel and so that it wouldn’t be so stark.
I think I love the back of the book just as much as I do the rest of it.
And here it is all packaged up for Christmas in one of my vintage bags.

very cute book. What a wonderful little keepsake for your daughter. Sometimes, the things we do show our pride and belief in our kids, more than the things we say!

What a wonderful gift for your daughter. I have two girls (12 & 14) and this would be so nice for them, too. I agree with everything you have in there. What a great little treasure for her to have, especially on those days where the ‘mean girls’ decide to show up at school, dressed as her former besties!
