Kiwi Lane February Blog Hop

 Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!  Thanks for joining me today for the Kiwi Lane Designs February Blog Hop. I am so excited to have you here! I just want to start out by professing my love for Kiwi Lane Templates. That's right, I love them. My name is Staci and I am a KLD Template addict. If you are visiting me today, you are either already a KLD addict, or soon will be. :) I love the ease, quickness and versatility of the templates. I love being able to lay them all out and design my own page. The templates make layout design so easy. For my layout, I pulled out my Clara Lane, 12 inch strip, and Sweetheart templates.  I grabbed some black paper and my pics to lay out my design. I used the back side of my pictures to design placement because I didn't have the Photo Set. (I have the Photo Set now and let me just say that it is wonderful. I highly recommend it.)

After it was all laid out, I grabbed a pair of scissors and Authentique's Carefree collection and got to work. Before using the templates, my 2-pagers would take forever. Laying everything out makes doing a 2-pager so much easier and faster. After getting it all designed, I was able to get it cut, inked, glued and finished within the hour. For me, that's pretty fast.

Templates Used:
  12 inch strips- 1 inch
  Clara Lane 1 a&b,2 a&b, 3 a&b
  Sweetheart 1, 3, 4, 3T, 4T

Other Supplies:
