    Little Boy Scrapbook Layout with Seth Apter’s Dies

    October 29, 2017 / 2 Comments

    Hello, this is Elena here today sharing a layout made using dies from Seth Apter. These dies are fantastic if you are looking for fun shapes to use for any male or boy projects. While working on the layouts for my youngest son I found that it’s quite easy to create with mixed media techniques.

    Hi gang. Seth Apter here with a new guest blog post. Like many of you, I have some favorite die sets that I find myself going back to and using over and over.
