Here are two of my projects using Swirlydoos' March Kit, "French Quarter".

This first layout is created using this month's Swirly Hues!

And this second layout is created using this month's sketch.

I will be sharing these layouts in greater details in separate posts soon.

You have until midnight, eastern time, on March 15th to complete the hop. Winners will be announced on the Swirlydoos Blog on March 16th. In order to qualify to win here is what you need to do:

1: Visit all of the blogs and leave a comment on each. This way we know you were there. Become a follower if you're not already. Take your time. There are beautiful things to see along the way.

2: Before you leave each blog, look for the “special” words and write it down.
Once you have visited all the blogs and collected all the special words, they will create a sentence.

3: Finally, go back to the Swirlydoos blog and leave a comment letting us know how much fun you had AND tell us the sentence that was created with all of the special words you collected.

My special word is : There

The party continues over at Karola's blog. Have fun!

Hiro's Update

This week, we did took Hiro on short walks and managed to capture some simple shots of him. I think he is cuter when he sticks out his tongue.

Check back tomorrow for another tutorial from me at The Crop Spot!

New Friend

This is a layout which I've created sometime ago using one of Swirlydoos old kit, "Midnight Waltz". I've also used acrylic flowers by Clear Scraps, flourish chippie by Dusty Attic and stamps by Vilda Stamps.

Here are some close-ups on it.

I've painted the Dusty Attic flourish with some acrylic paint and detail it with Stickles.

These are the acrylic flowers by Clear Scraps. After some embossing, sanding and coloring, this is what I get.

This journaling tag stamp and the text stamp on the photograph is by Vilda Stamps.

Hope you all like today's layout!
