May Kit Sneaky...REVEAL!!!

Hi everyone!!! Today I'm going to give you a FULL reveal of a project I made with May's kit. I tore into this kit the minute I received it and have loved creating with it. It includes Penny Lane papers from My Mind's Eye and lots of fun embellishments!!





My layout is based on a Valerie Salmon sketch, nothing better than a sketch to get the creative juices flowing. I also used my new apron lace border punch that is so popular right now. The only thing not from the kit are the buttons and the Thickers.

And here is my first Mother's Day card I made with these papers. They are so versatile! The colors are perfect for any sentiment. I will definitely be making more Mother's Day cards with this kit!!



Big thanks to our very own Sarah who designed this kit. You are going to love this kit so be quick...you don't want to miss out! Happy Wednesday!!
