I feel pretty, oh so pretty!

Hi everyone!  I finally have the SU Pretties Kit!  Yep, I have had my eye on this kit since it debuted a couple years ago, but it was just too expensive for me.  Well, no more -it's now on the SU Clearance rack for just $12!  I snagged this beauty for myself last week -and it IS so pretty!  I get my SU goodies from my demo friend, Kari Linder.

Here's my first card I made using the kit.  Ironically, I really struggled with this card!!  Like 4 hours struggle!  The large flower is bigger than I thought and for some reason I had trouble with a layout.  Anyway, here is my card.  I used a wedding sentiment from Verve's Love Story, and some pattern papers from Webster's Pages, Garden Gala.  The prima in the center is from the Athena flowers collection in Aurora Pink.
Next up I have a card using the adorable Harvest Birds Plain Jane set and sentiment from Autumn Splendor.  Aren't these little guys the cutest??  I added some bling to the tails and for the eyes.  My layout is from Julee's World Card Making Sketch #2. 
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

  1. Your four hour struggle was worth it - gorgeous flower and pin! Love the swiss dotted circle behind the flower and the pearls on the sentiment panel.

    Your birds are adorable with the bling on them and the touch of baker's twine and scoring ont he white is perfect.
