Gossamer Blue November Blog Hop: Instant

Hello!  Thanks for hopping along from the crazy-talented Heather Leopard's blog and landing here!

This is a November Main Kit only layout, with the addition of some Heidi Swapp Black Velvet Color Shine.  I loved the bright colors in the November kit so I took advantage of using a B&W photo by adding pops of color and gold on my layout.  The 3x4 card summed up just how I felt about the photo of my girly and hubs on a walk.

I used another 3x4 card trimmed out of the Basic Grey paper, layered it with a Maggie Holmes tag and bow and placed it along the bottom left side of the layout to create balance from the photo area.  The mist was flicked in the same direction of top right photo area to bottom left embellishment.

Next on the hop is the brilliant Kasia, click here to head over to her blog!  If you get lost or stumble upon a bad link please head back to the Gossamer Blue blog.

100th Blog Post

I just realized that I'm only 2 posts away from my 100th blog post!  So crazy!  So to celebrate, I'm  going to host a little giveaway on Creating Us!  Stay tuned for my next post and what the giveaway will be... I think maybe I'll create a little box of Happy Mail for a lucky reader.

That layout has nothing to do with this post but it's an old favorite from Gossamer Blue a few years ago. I miss that baby!!!!!!  And it's a fun layout like this fun post!  Ha!

See ya at the same bat time, same bat channel 😉
