Hello everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I am up on <a href="http://thescraproomblog.blogspot.com/2017/04/april-freaky-fast-formula-designer.html"><b>The ScrapRoom Blog</b></a> sharing a layout I created</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
inspired by the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>April Freaky Fast Formula</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the challenge I decided to use the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Echo Park "Magic & Wonder" Page Kit </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one of four kits included in the April </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.scrap-room.com/srkit.htm#fotm">Flavors of the Month Kit</a></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did not have any Disney photos that have not been scrapped so I opted for </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some photos I had taken of my great-nieces while they</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were in Portland competing in the Pac West Cheer Competition last month!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both girl's teams took first place in their division and each team member is given a jacket,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so here they are showing off their jackets! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's my layout....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a little late in the month, but I wanted to share more of the layouts </div>

Hello everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sharing a layout I created inspired by</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The ScrapRoom's</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
February Freaky Fast Formula</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create my layout I used the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Crate Paper "Heart Day" Page Kit</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
included in the February</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in combination with the February</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.scrap-room.com/embclub.htm#4">Embellishment Add On Kit</a></span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After I had completed the layout and uploaded, I realized that I cut one piece in the formula incorrectly.....grrrr! For the 10 3/4" x 1" piece I actually forgot to cut the 12" x 1" down 1 1/4" so that cut is off. Other than that everything else is good to go!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was another fun page kit to work with which made pulling this formula together an easy task!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This page kit was perfect to document the love between my niece and her son!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aren't the XO paper clips adorable!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything used to create this layout is from this month's kits, with the exception of the letters for the title work and the gold "Kiss Me" heart, both from previous TSR Kits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Here is this month's formula</b></div>

Today I am up on <b><a href="http://thescraproomblog.blogspot.com/2017/02/february-jumpstart-sketch-challenge.html">The ScrapRoom Blog</a></b> sharing the layout I created using the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

one of four kits included in the </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Using this month's great sketch made my page come together really fast! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>And the kit..</b>..how adorable is it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love the colors and prints which matched up perfectly with these super cute photos and the outfit baby Ayden is wearing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think this was my favorite page kit in this month's <b>FOTM Kit</b>. I created one other page with the kit and trying to figure out how I can make a thrid page with the scraps...LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything used is from the <b>FOTM Kit </b>and the <b>Embellishment Add On Kit</b> with the exception of the twine and the "Adorable" rub on taken from my personal stash. </div>
