Our Page of the month classes are going so well and as many of you know, I love a deal. I have been busy at the store and at home making layouts and cards with all the extra product that comes in the Page of the Month kits. Now with my scrap room in the midst of being redone I have only been able to do a few extras for the past 2 kits. We will call them May & June POTM part 1.
May featured the GREEN AT HEART line and June, the CAPPELLA line.  So here they are. ENJOY ~ Kimberly
