Scrapbooking: Project Life for My Dad

Aaron's challenge for March was to use a wax paper butterfly and punched butterflies.  She decided to use the butterfly as a stencil and sponged the background on four of the Project Life inserts.  This was an emotional page for her; it was the first she had done since Dad passed away in December.
