I used Amanda’s new collab  Short & Stout to make this,  it is such a pretty kit with it’s soft colors.  She teamed up with Bree Clarkson and Jaedyn Smith and I am telling you, they really rocked this one.  It is perfect for Mother’s Day gift’s like a cute album or card…All of the previews are right below in the previous post.

Enjoy the rest of your week….Happy (early) NSD everyone.
