Swirlydos 2nd Reveal, Passion Berry Kit

Hello everyone! Today I'd like to share two more projects using the gorgeous Passion Berry Kit.

First up is a card. I'm not much of a cardmaker. I find it hard to work on such a little space. But, Paulien gives us step by step card tutorials and I get inspired. To see these tutorial please visit the It's All About Cards Thread.  So, here it is.....sweet and simple!

 Next up is a book box I altered. I LOVE these paper machete faux books! I have like 10 of them in different sizes, sitting waiting to be played with! I just painted it with gesso, sprayed with glimmer mist and prettied it up with the kits papers and embellishments. Don't you just love the fence...super cute!

 

Hope I've inspired you!!!

The IOD papers in the kit are just stunning!!! I love the burgundy and cream. So for this page I added a touch of black to have burgundy pop. I did a bit of fussy cutting from the cut-out sheets.

 With this page I went totally girly! I love to scrap soft pinks and creams. I hand made the vine and digitally created the butterflies just to match this kit. You can find both at my Etsy Shop. I've used this photo of my little girl before on other layouts. The DT was discussing using photos more than once. I don't mind it. I mean, who's to say you can't. What is your take? 

 This is my take on the sketch. With my kits I always start with the sketch first. It get my creative juices flowing. Then I'm able to jump right into my other projects.

 

 Here is the exclusive August sketch.
