I draped my paper in the same way I do in my dresses but in paper is a little more difficult but I really enjoy the process!!!
For OUAS- the journaling theme is December.

My journaling is behind my page and says...

"December is a special month for all of us.  Every December since 1994,  when my first child, Alexander was born, I've been taking family pictures every December ever-since. I love to sit down to see all these photos we've taken through all these years.  Seeing how big my kids have gotten, now they've matured.  I've been blessed with such Adorable kids and a Beautiful family".
