Vintage Hip Hop

Hip Hop! You are gonna LOVE this new Scrapbooking Kit from Unity! Le Chic Vintage is available September 1st.

I used the kit (along with the Just My Type & Frame This Alpha) to make a journal about my year 2009. It is a place to write about my year...what I did and learned. I left room to add to it as the year progresses.
Lots of journaling on this one...
Places I have/will travel to this year.
