Kensignton Gardens & Findley’s Estate

Those paper line names make me want to jut out my lower jaw and say things like… “Yes lovey” and… “Double on the rawks please”.

Hee hee.

These two paper sets by Fiskars Cloud 9 Designs were so much fun to work with this month for AC Bailey.  I have to admit that they are not necessarily designs that I would pick up on my own, but once I started working with them I realized how really fun and versatile they were. 

My favorite of the two, Kensington Gardens, is perfect for spring.  In fact I have several photos that have yet to be scrapped using this set as soon as I get to it!  Here’s one:

Journaling reads:

Every morning the first thing I do is head straight to our coffee maker and flip the switch.  It whirs to life as I stare at the blinking red light just waiting for that moment when I can hit the button and brew my wake up elixr.  Hot frothy steamy coffee goodness.  I love my morning Java.

Hmmmm, coffee.  We use a Senseo machine for ours.  Anyone have one of those?  We really like is since it’s just the two of us and we’d never drink a whole pot.  And the coffee really is very good.

And here’s one using the Findley’s Estate set.  I’m not sure who Findley was but he sure had good taste.  I love greens and blues and the little touch of gold in this set is gorgeous!

Aren’t they a beautiful family?  That’s my dear friend Marge, her husband, and two lovely daughters.  Tracy in the middle is a budding scrapbooker… I’m doing my best to be a bad influence (we convinced her mom to get her a Cricut Expression for her birthday so I’m on the right track ;) ). 

You can check out the paper sets and grab some for you at AC Bailey’s store.

Did March absolutely fly by for you too?  Because I cannot believe that tomorrow is the 1st!  I suppose it’s a little late for a “sneak peek” of the April Kit, but I will tell you it’s full of the most beautiful papers I’ve worked with in awhile.  And it comes with the cutest flowers and even a mini-album!  I’m wrapping up my layout to post for it tomorrow.  I LOVE how it turned out!

Hope you’ve had a nice week so far… I so appreciate all the wonderful comments I’ve been getting lately.  You all keep me inspired more than you know. 

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
