This is Beth a.k.a. kewl_jive for this week’s GSO. Spring has finally arrived. I am loving the perfect weather here in Tokyo. Are your kids ready for Easter?

Be sure to check the shop for new gorgeous kits that are perfect for your kids’ Easter activities.

The gallery is full of gorgeous layouts and I encourage everyone to pick the page that deserves Gallery Standout.

Without further ado…

Tuesday word on the street

Category : Inspiration, Tips and Tricks

Hi everyone, steph here with your Tuesday Word on the Street. I’m here today to talk about a ” bucket full of carots” .  

I found this on an amazing blog “ a peek into my stamping room” by Debbie Seyer

Soon we will celebrate Easter and I find this idea very original  to slide into the chocolate eggs  and other candies

Don’t you think?

Why not customize them with kits from our shop, or make a family for the holidays, I’m sure all ages will be happy .

You’ll even find an explicative notice , load the carrot box template on the blog by Debbie

remember to thank her for his kindness and his explanations ;)

Happy Friday Everyone!!  It’s Patti here with another awesome set of ‘threesome’  layouts that I have picked from this week’s GSO layout thread on the A5D Forum!  Trust me, when I say, it gets harder and harder each week to narrow things down to just three layouts!  There is so much talent.  I’m in ‘awe’!  Sit back take a look, I think you’ll agree with me!!

 by Dashyny:

Love the moment captured here and the background. Awesome effect.  Great element usage and the colours are vivid! Amazing!!

Monicca:

Love the clustering and blending!!  Great natural feel to this layout.  Fabulous photos!

 

by Joannknnrd:

Love the freedom feel to this layout!!  Gorgeous ‘flower fall’. 

Stop by thier galleries and leave them some love:)
