April SOTM Blog Hop - You Are...

Hi Everyone and welcome :)

If you came from Lori's Blog then I'm your next stop :)

This month's set is called "You Are" and looks like this:

And here is the layout I did using Lucy papers, our wood garden shapes, this stamp set, Rhinestone buttons, bitty sparkles, bakers twine, pink buttons, and silk ribbon by CTMH. I added an extra "rainbow" of flowers behind one of them with the stamp set called Remarkable Wreath.  All the wood garden shapes have been stamped or glittered to death using a stamp from one of these two stamp sets and they take ink like a dream :)) You should get both of these sets right away! LOL

Hope you enjoyed the layout -- I'll enjoy it better once my KitKlub gals have completed it and I can put my Easter pictures from last year on it!!  

If you'd like to get some inspiration for the Florentine paper pack -- you should check out the post entitled "April Spoilers" two posts back  :)) -- I am absolutely in love with the vintaj feel of the Florentine papers and can't wait for the gals to see the pages we're creating together this month with it!

I've kept you long enough; leave some *LUV* if you would - have fun on the rest of the Hop and I'll see you next time!   

You next stop is Jill's Blog - The ScrapWench!  I LOVE that name!
