Image
  Happy May and welcome.... Oh boy, have we got a great Blog Hop for you this month!! The theme this month is both a color combo as well as a card sketch .

  Storybook Moments ~ Book Treat Box In MY opinion 'one cannot have enough Storybook Moments projects'.  Pretty sure it's been my most favorite Designer Series Paper (DSP) that Stampin' Up! has ever released.  The sweet prints, soft colors, pre-printed die cuts.... OH MY CUTENESS!!!  The entire Storybook Moments Suite has been highly popular and rightfully so!! With the name 'StoryBOOK Moments, I knew at some point I needed to pair this paper with the Stampin' Up! Book Treat Boxes.  And with Easter quickly approaching, I  felt now would be the perfect opportunity.  🐰 🌸 🐣 🌾 🐤🌼 🐰 🌸 🐣 🌾 🐤🌼 🐰 🌸 🐣 🌾 🐤🌼 Last week I shared this same project (though different in pattern) over on my Facebook page and YOU all loved it.

I've added a little framed cover that's fits perfectly over the inside.  Not only does this...
