Curiosity Shoppe - Graphic 45

So I was browsing all the new scrapbooking products after the Winter CHA and found this great collection called Curiosity Shoppe by Graphic 45.  I was totally in love, however it didn't really say "Monthly Collection" to me...  Not everyone loves vintage as much as I do.  So, I decided to order just a minium order from the wholesaler... for me!  Here's the first page I've made with it...

Grandma`s Birthday

So I still have quite a bit of the Graceful collection left over & thought I would use it on this layout of my Grandma`s 91st Birthday :)    I used my two edge punches & my new Nestabilities dies for all the great edges on this layout.

Birthday card!

This was my Mom's birthday card from my Dad.  Each year he asks me to make one for him to give her.  This one was made using the Country Garden collection from BoBunny.  The orange scalloped piece in the middle with butterflies was from the cut outs page.  The flowers, button & ribbon were from my stash.  This card was super quick to make & I love how it turned out.  Hope you like it too!

April's Kit - "Graceful"

So this month's kit has a very Easter-y feel to me!  I'm not a huge purple fan but I love purple and yellow together.  This kit features a great plum color and a beautiful yellow/gold.  I think the stripe paper is my favorite from the whole pack but maybe the embossed ruler-ish paper wins... not sure :)  All the core impressions paper is great.  Love the embossing.  Here's a pic of the kit.. check it out www.createdwithpaper.com

This card was quick & easy... for my Mom's birthday :)
