Now on to the March "Vintage Chic" kit...
This beautiful kit features a lot of Prima goodness from the "Engraver" collection, so I thought it fitting to use the March Prima BAP sketch for a layout. I have been itching to scrap this recent school picture of my daughter in her favourite dress.

The main kit and flower add-on features gorgeous flowers! For the title, I simply used pastel chalk on the word laughter in the paper. Suits my daugher perfectly - she is always full of laughter.
Here is a layout of my husband and I that I created ENTIRELY with the main "Vintage Chic" kit contents only. I just used a few tools and gesso from my stash - nothing else. You can find a step-by-step tutorial on the Swirlydoos forum HERE on how to create this layout.
Awesome flowers and fun bling in the main kit!
Here, I simply altered a plain kraft bag and added a handmade flower. I have lots of flower tutorials in the right sidebar of this blog.
I cut apart one of the bling strips to add to the clock.

The party continues over at Miranda's blog. Have fun!
NOTE: I used a lot of Helmar goodness to stick all of my projects together. I used the premium craft glue on the paper layers, the 450 quick dry on the flowers, the adhesive runner for the photos and Zapdots to add dimension.
