Did you notice the date? It’s the end of the month! I know! I’m still getting used to it being May, and now it’s going to be June tomorrow. I can’t say too much, but next month’s buffet is going to be a big hit, I think. There have been a lot of requests for this theme! So make sure you keep an eye out for tomorrow’s newsletter!

The designers this week did a variety of things. Katie Creates has an adorable girly-girly kit full of make-up. Connie is all focused on graduation and the end of school. Aprilisa has a kit perfect for every barbeque. ViolaMoni has some masks that I need to get myself!

I’m excited to show off the layouts this week. I had such a hard time choosing just three this week! All three layouts this week were created using Spring Fling, the May buffet.

Beautiful layout by Nandy. The yellow paper just makes the whole layout pop so beautifully. The clusters are wonderful as well!

Wonderful layout by Lisa. I love the flower cluster as it frames 2/3 of the picture. So well done!

Good morning! I hope your week was good! This weekend signifies the “start” of summer in the States with Memorial Day. The opening of the pools happen. In a lot of areas, schools are out this week as well. The designers are definitely in the Summer spirit. So many colorful and fruit-filled kits this week! There are also several red-white-and-blue themed kits, to celebrate Memorial Day. Oh, and Connie Prince has an add-on for her Project 2013 kit for June!

Some of you amazing gallery artists definitely need to give me some tips on layout creating, because they are amazing. I had such a hard time choosing just three this week! I chose one using the Spring Fling buffet series, and two using Signs of Spring, the monthly mix for May.

Adorable layout created by MamaCake.  I love the film strip aspect of this layout. It’s so beautifully done!
