Love Letter Album in a Day Class

    If you saw yesterday's post you know that I announced my album in a Day class using Botanical Gazette. Today I am announcing that I'm offering the same class using the Love Letter Designer Series Paper. This class also includes the Rustic Album with the Love Letter Designer Series Paper as well as a package of the Paper Daisies, 3 ink pads, as well as card stock and more.

    There is a little bit of a price difference between the two choices of Designer Series Paper for the Silver and Gold packages because of the difference in cost of the stamp set included in each package. The bronze package is the same price for both kits. All three packages are designed to take advantage of Sale A Bration. The gold package earns hostess benefits.

For more information click here  for the flyer and/or here for more details.

             Here is a photo of a two page lay out from the Love Letter DSP. Click on the image to enlarge the photo. What do you think? How would you have improved it? Let me know by leaving a comment.

Challenge for today: Create some fun in your day!!

 

Have a great day!!
