I took my first ever class at Scrapbook ect. today. It was a Monkey album kit class. It was nice, because I got to work on it at my own pace, and add to it what ever I wanted. It was alot of fun, and the girls were fun too. I wanted to make this album for baby Luke's first birthday pics. I haven't gottin the pictures yet, I ordered them from Artscow.com. The only thing I wish was that the inside pages were the same as the front and back cover. Im contimplating if I want to change the inside pages. No futher adue, here are some pics of the Monkey album.
