On to some scrappy :) I always LOVE Tara's kits from Magpie Club & this month was no different. The main kit is already sold out but I believe there are still some credit crunch kits left :) Here is the May sketch . . .

And my take on it using the May kit . . .

Photobucket

I LOVE title work & had a fun time mixing the 3 alphas included in the kit. I really enjoyed making the layered "o" :)

Photobucket

Tara always has so many fun "bits & bobs" in her kits & used a bunch to create this layered photo corner . . .

A quick close-up on the journaling . . .

Tara will be running a challenge on her blog with this sketch so please play along if you have time. You can find out all the details HERE later this week :)

Stop back tomorrow - I will be sharing all my work for my guest design spot over at Paper Poppy!!!
