Here is my final layout using the pretty kit from Papermaze for the month of May. The kit is available on line and in the store, please see both places for full details of the kit and the design.

Blossom & CS White Bazzill

From my stash:
Distress Watercolour Pencils
Peartree Cutfile

That's all from the May Kit, I'll be back with a new kit for June later in the month.
