Kiwi Lane April Blog Hop


Welcome! Welcome! I am so happy to have you here today! Thanks for joining me from Marisa's blog. I hope that you are having a ton of fun on this hop and enjoying all the great ideas. I love seeing what everyone creates.

The featured templates for the month at Kiwi Lane Designs are Chestnut Drive, Celebrate, and Tiny Floral. All three are fabulous and were so much fun to use that I couldn't help but use some from all 3 sets.


Tiny Floral are such great flowers and really fun to use on so much. I love how flowers look good on pretty much everything!


With banners being all the rage these days, I love using the banner from Celebrate. To get the stacked looked, I just traced 2 and trimmed one a little smaller. The same thing can be done with any of the templates for a nice layered look.


Using just the Chestnut Drive borders, I was able to create a fun layered look. If you are new to Kiwi Lane, sit down and play with some. All of the borders work great together for layering. Tons of fun!



 Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to keep hopping along and leaving comments.  A  random winner from ONE of the 10 blogs (including the Kiwi Lane blog), will be given a $25 gift certificate to the Kiwi Lane Shop, for leaving a comment. How awesome is that!
