Elle's Studio May Kit

I will be taking the summer off from Elle's Studio but I'm so glad I got to work with this month's kit. This kit is one of my FAVORITES!! I will five kids at home so I need to be there for them!! Crazy busy times ahead, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! Then I will be back to crafting with Elle's Studio in the fall! You will still see my Citrus Twist and American Crafts goodies :) Enough about me how about I show you this amazing May Kit?!

Now for this month I created 2 cards. Yes, I know tomorrow is Mother's Day, but I couldn't resist making a Father's Day card with this tag that came in the May Kit. I also used the Limited Ed. Patriotic Wood Veneer stars and the May Wood Veneers.

And for this card I used the May Kit, May Wood Veneers, and May Stamp. I also used some paper and the doily from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day!!
