When I saw this week's challenge over at Papercraft Star, I knew exactly what I wanted to do! I had been holding onto this image of a baby book that I got from Bumble Buttons for a while, and now was the time to put it to use! The theme for this week's challenge is to use a book as your inspiration, and here is my card based on the challenge . . .
