Paper Posies Guest Designer for March!!

I am SO excited!! Michele, the owner of Paper Posies, asked me to be her Guest Designer for March! Michele puts together wonderful kits and the March kit is fabulous! Lots of new product and perfect for spring :)

So far, I've made three cards and three layouts. Butterflies are a complete weakness for me. On this first card, I cut one from the Making Memories paper and then used my circle punch to get a few more on the card :)


This next card was very FUN to make. I LOVE the Jillibean Soup papers and mini alphas! I braided thin strips of the dot paper and then fringed a strip of the stripes. Aren't those little chicks adorable?
I really like how this third card turned out. I envisioned it in my head first and am so happy with the results. All those cute little pictures in the patterned paper--so so fun!


This first layout is probably my favorite :) More cut-out butterflies :) Not only did I love the Jillibean Soup papers and the butterflies, but the Making Memories journaling notes are beautiful. I love journaling notes!
A few years ago DH and I celebrated our anniversary on Easter. I hadn't documented it yet for our album and was so happy this kit worked perfectly for the theme. The dimensional Making Memories stickers were perfect embellishments for my projects. Is that another butterfly? :p

My last layout is a two-pager. The grid on the RH page was inspired by a layout in the last SBE issue. They had 9 equally-sized photos on the page but I wanted to use more. I like how I was able to get so much about the shower on the two pages and still have a large enough area to "play" with product on the LH page.

I have one more project that I'm working on with the kit and will post it early next week. Be sure to visit Paper Posies to see the other designers work and check out Michele's great kits. Thanks again, Michele, for the opportunity to design with your wonderful kit :)
