I'm in Butterfly Crafts' Design Team!!!

News time ~ Another amazing news!
I got into Butterfly Craft's Challenge Design Team!!!! More details are here.
So excited to work with these wonderful ladies and play along the inspirational challenges. You can join us here.

For the first challenge (Challange 21), we had to scrap a life changing moment for us. Check it out here.

For the challenge, I created using Grungy Geometry by JW-DigiScraps (Janice Ward), available at DivineDigitals.com.

Product Review:
I love the embellishments and the papers were very cool! It's a fun fun kit with main colors of reds and blues and greens (primary colors) that was neuralized by the browns in the background.
Overall, a fun kit that can be used for any scrap topics/themes you would like.
