Another First!

Have you ever used a photo mask? I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that I never have!

(gasp!!)

I really wanted to try the Clean and Simple challenge over at Digital Scrap Cafe. I just love the look of simple and uncluttered, but don't do it a lot because I try to squeeze lots of pictures on most of the pages I do. But seeing some of the other pages that had already been posted just enticed me even more.

So here is my go at this challenge. I have to say, I really like it!

{These are my 2 oldest kids, in 2005, actually being NICE to each other!

Christmas is wonderful for that!}
