I'm having so much fun being apart of the Kiwi Lane Design team! I am in love with all their  Designer templates! If you haven't tried any of the templates be sure to pick yourself up a set or two and give them a try. I promise you won't be disappointed!  I can't imagine not having them as a part of my arsenal of scrapbook supplies! Can you tell I am in love with Kiwi Lane templates!!! I love them so much that I will be giving away a set of templates (Wacky Accessory) here too. To enter my giveaway you must be a follower on my blog and when you leave a comment be sure to leave an email address so I can contact you if you win. I will choose a winner on Tuesday June 11th.

For this hop I create a two page layout of my boys washing my car for Mothers Day. Water and boys equals a lot of bubble trouble! LOL! 

First, I framed out my layout, which helps me see a rough draft of what my layout will look like. I usually end up changing a few things around, but for the most part I'm  usually happy with the way it looks.

Framing Process

Here's my finished layout!

Kiwi Lane templates I used to create this layout include: 

Adventure 3, 4, & 6

Aspen 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B

Accents 5T

1" Strip

4x5 Photo templates, & 4x6 Photo templates

Here's a little tip I did to create the slim arrows pointing at my boys.

*Trace Adventure 3 just the triangle shape, slide the template down just a little bit, trace again and cut out. Do this as many times as needed to create just the look you're wanting. This creates a fun embellishment on any layout or card.

Here's another look at some of the templates I used. I love how I added glossy accents to Adventure 6 to make it look like a water blob! So fun!!!

Thanks for joining me! Next stop on the hop is Karen.
