If you started at the beginning of the hop, you should have arrived here from SHAVON!

Now on with the projects!


I had SOOOO much fun playing with the BRAND NEW Close To My Heart BLOSSOM paper! Anyone who knows me KNOWS I am not a "flower" kinda girl, but this paper just GREW on me like beautiful flowers grow (get it..? lol). 

I didn't use ANY Cricut cuts on these cards...it's been SO LONG since I made cards without my Cricut and it felt good to be able to share with those that don't own one (even though I personally feel EVERYONE should have one)! 

If you LOVE this paper, I have create a Kit that sells each of these cards! You will be able to make each of these cards AND a scrapbook layout! Check the BLOSSOM KIT out HERE






Please be sure to hop over to all the other wonderful blogs too.

Next on the hop is the talented



Here is the entire line-up:

Kiwi Lane 2 Page Layout

Hey All!!!


Here is a quick 2 Page Layout I made this weekend at a crop using my Kiwi Lane Designs Templates!!

I am SOOO excited that I am going to the Orlando Scrapbook Expo with Kiwi Lane Designs!! I am STOKED!! What a DREAM COME TRUE!!! And, since I am going with them, I wanted to have my own book of layouts to show people that come on by!! They are SOOOOO easy to use!!!


Here is my layout:





I used some VERY old Basic Grey paper that I had from when I use to be part of a Kit a Month. I sold EVERYTHING that was not Close To My Heart, except for the 10 kits I had. I figured I paid really good money for them, so I better use them! Plus it is super cute paper once you cut the templates out of them!!! 

Here is the Kiwi Templates I used:

Paisley Place-12 Inch Boarder
Cedar Trails-Fun Boarder
12 Inch Strips-Fun Boarder
Celebrate -Accessory
Explore-Tiny Accessory
Photo Templates 


OK All!! Thanks for checking out my post!!!
