March Project Highlight - Yesterday & Today

March launches us with two new featured paper packs in March-April Catalog. This month I will feature the Yesterday & Today Paper pack. This is a great paper pack to showcase your family photos, photos that are black and white/sepia tone, and older heritage photos. If you were ever thinking of making a Heritage Album, this is one of the paper packs you will need to stock up on. Here are the layouts that I made with this paper pack.
