Wanna see what I made??
I decided to make a layout about some of my current favorite things.
Or as I say on this layout, "Currently I have much love for these things..."
{P.S. this is also the layout i made for the Pencil Lines design team call. didn't make it but it's all good! their sketches are still among my favorites! and i used the Truly Scrumptious kit from Noel Mignon to make this! another favorite: kits!!}

Great page Gretchen! I also applied to Pencil Lines but didn't make it but I have to say their roster is AMAZING this year!! Maybe we will make it to their Guest DT? Wishful thinking on my part. :)

Really pretty layout! You have such nice handwriting, so it looks great on your page. I'm pretty sure mine wouldn't look that great! Happy Blog Hop!

Sandy Ang said...

How fantastic the ways you used hearts on your almost monochromatic LO. And the clustering of LOVEs 'pop' against the background so well.
