First up is this beautiful Little Darlings card, altered photo album and coordinating close pin. These projects are so adorable and exquisitely crafted! Here is what Gloria had to say about them.
"I tend to give gift cards for pretty much every occasion, and always like to make small items to accompany the gift cards. I find that altered photo albums are a big hit with new moms (and new grandmothers). I also like to alter jumbo clothespins. They make a great photo holder for a desk or counter." -Gloria Stengel
