Swirlydoos 2nd Reveal

Hello friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! This year Delilah's birthday fell on Thanksgiving. So instead of pumpkin pie we had birthday cake...lol!
Dream, Love
 With the first reveal, I felt that my two layouts didn't have my usual "fill the page" style. So, with this page I did layer upon layer and lots of pretty embellies! The butterflies are my newest addition to my Etsy Shop.
Life
My first layout with Hot Air Balloons. At first I thought they weren't my thing. Now, I like them..hehe! They are a perfect embellie for a more masculine page. I didn't want to get to girly, so I held off on adding butterflies and tons of flowers.
 
And here is just a quick card I put together with left over scraps. I'm really trying to improve my cardmaking skills.
Thank you for stopping by and taking a peek! I really appreciate you taking the time!
 
Until my next post......

For my first layout I used the sketch made exclusive for Swirlydoos by Begga.
As always, you can find the butterflies at my Etsy Shop.

 This month it's my turn to do Anatomy of a Layout. You can find step by step instructions how I made this page HERE. The great thing about Anatomy of layout is it's only done with the main kit.

 I made this OTP project using the Technique kit. It was my first time using Gelatos...so easy and fun. I love the way this turned out and plan to make more OTP projects. I'm so disappointed because this picture does nothing for what the project looks like in person.
