Curio Pantry - Cottage Retreat

I squealed to myself last week when I found out that Jessica Dunn of Curio Pantry will be a guest designer at The Lilypad. I took the chance ad approached her to be a part of her CT team and she said yes! So here I am on another team... mainly just at The Lilypad for Jess for now.

For this month's BYOC she has a lovely kit called Cottage Retreat on offer. 



 I used ninigoesdigi Scrapbook Foundation template for my layout
