The Lilypad - SOSN 23 Sept
It's the SOSN sale at The Lilypad and today here are just two of the offereings:
Kiana of Studio Kaleidoscope has her kit called Sweet Season on the sale
Nini has her collection called Pearfect consisting of the kit, pocket cards and alphas on the sale. I did use this before which you can see here, but as I had lost the kit a few years ago when my EHD crashed, I decided it was time to revisit it and make this new layout.
Just noticed that though I made both these layouts on different days, I've used tags as the main element on them... funny how that happens!
