Kiwi Lane Blog Hop

October 4, 2013

     Welcome to the Kiwi Lane blog hop.  You should have arrived here from La-Vie’s blog.  If you  happen to get lost along the way you can always head back to Kiwi Lane’s blog for the complete blog order.
      I am very excited to be included in the hop, and couldn’t wait to see what designer templates I’d get to work with.  I was graciously sent the Tiny Holiday and Abbie Road Mini sets.  I think the Tiny Holiday set could be used on both cards and layouts.  The Abbie Road is definitely geared more towards cards, but I could see using them as boarders for journalling or certain pictures on a layout.  The products really are very versatile. 
    Since National Card Making Day is during the hop, and there is a fun challenge at Kiwi Lane in honor of that, I made two different cards.  Be sure you check the challenge out, and get in on the fun!
    My first card is very clean and simple.  I used one of the borders and the ornament from the holiday set.   I wanted to show how easy the sets are to use for different ideas, so I turned the ornament upside down and turned them into balloons.  The balloons have some stickels on them for a bit of interest, and I used twine for the balloon strings.  

     For my second card I wanted to have less white space so I used both the A and B sides of the borders, but cut them in different spots.  I then tucked on pumpkin under part of the boarder and popped the other up with foam dots.  A few fall stickers and I was good to go.  There is a lot of depth and interest, but with the  matching waves it doesn’t look overly busy…I love it! 
     Do do you want to get a chance to use the awesome KLD templates!?  Of course you do!  All you have to leave is leave a comment on the blogs along the way, and a random winner will get a $25 gift certificate to the shop.  Winner to be announced October 10th on their blog.  Good Luck!
     Thank you so much for joining us.  I’m glad you’re here!  I hope you’ll follow my blog and Facebook page to see more of my creations.  Now head on to Jennifer’s blog to see her awesome work.
