Welcome to Scrapbook Blessings Blog. Barbara here with an ornament that I learned how to make at my local scrapbook store called The Little Blue House. My Tip- make an ornament for each person in your family and record on the back or bottom who made it and for whom it was made as well as the year. You will soon have a tree full of memories. And your kids will have ornaments to take with them for their own tree when they grow up and move out. Today I made an angel ornament.
