Birthday Breakfast

Designer: Patti Milazzo

I held on to my decorative scissors even when they seemed to go out of style in scrapbooking.  And I’m glad I did!  I find I use them more now than ever.  These days I enjoy using them in subtle ways.  I like to trim just an edge or two of cardstock or patterned paper on my layout.  It softens the lines and adds some whimsy to fun pages like the one I created about my son’s birthday breakfast.
