Handmade By Suzanne Guest DT Spot

Was so excited and very flattered to be asked by Suzanne & Marelize at Handmade by Suzanne to be this month's Guest Designer.  I have been sent a gorgeous kit with the new Bo Bunny "Welcome Home" papers and lots of other yummy bits and pieces to play with.


Nature's Beauty

Here is the 1st LO I have created using the reverse side of Bo Bunny "Dreams" as I loved the beautiful overall pattern.  You have probably all noticed that I really enjoy mixing it up with different paper ranges, so I went through my stash and found some Websters Country Estate which I hand cut and some MME Good Day Sunshine for my background and they went together so beautifully with the Bo Bunny.  Everything I have used on this page is available at HBS except for the vintage music paper.  I found a quote which really resonates with me to use on this LO, it reads...  "The kiss of the sun for pardon.  The song of the birds for mirth.  One is nearer God's heart in a garden, than anywhere else on Earth."


Keep a look out during the month as I will have a few more LO's to share.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and leave some love.  Your comments really make my day :)))
