Lasting memories - happy

Hello scrappy friends! It's the last day of the year and my first day as a member of the design team of lasting memories! I am so excited! 
This month we have some word challenges for you!

The word "Happy" is a cut file from just nick that I backed with several patterned papers.

In addition to this, I created the second page:

Thanks for stopping by!
