Oh my this kit is GRAND! The "Whimsy" kit is so beautiful and is such a breath of spring in the middle of winter! There is NO way that pictures can capture the beauty of the these fabulous papers, so you really must have this kit so you can experience their whimsy. If you don't already subscribe and have this kit in your hands go to the Swirlydoos Boutique and get one before they are gone!
WHIMSY!!!!
And all of these AMAZING add-ons!
So, here are some projects that I made with the wonderful Whimsy kit:
Organic Recipe Box
I made this Kaisercraft recipe box that is featured in the project kit. I did use some of the paper from the main kit along with a few things from my stash including the Tim Holtz feet and curio knob.

"Eight" Layout
So this is a pic of my beautiful daughter on her eighth birthday. She is growing up way too fast. I try to take a pic within a few days of my kids' birthdays and make a layout with their age on it. I have a lot of catching up to do! Anyway this kit was perfect for the pic I chose. She was actually at the Butterfly Pavillion here in Denver.
I have or will have a step-by-step "anatomy" of this page on the Swirlydoos forums today. Check it out HERE.
"How Does your Garden Grow" Layout
And, this month, like every month, we have a sketch created for this kit by Beggahuna! Here is the sketch:
And here is my take on it:

I took some liberties with it, and went CRAZY with my punches! LOVE the effect with the array of whimsical colors of the Firefly paper. I did add a couple of things from my stash: the small blue roses, they are from the Encore Prima collection, and I used some black paper to cut out the flower vines with a new Memory Box die.
So, I hope enjoyed taking a peek at my projects. There are many more beautiful things to see on this hop!
