Well, technically this isn’t a shortcut.  This is more of a change of pace.  I have debated over and over again whether or not to go back and re-do some of my first layouts.  Arguments against this:

1. My husband says it shows my progression to where I am today (very nice brown nosing on his part… )

2. The kids don’t care what the layouts look like.  They just enjoy looking at the memories.

3. I just don’t have the time.

4. I just don’t have the time.

Arguments in favor of doing this project:

1. It pains me to look back at where I was.

So, as you can see, I am going to do this here on the blog.  These layouts are from about 5 years ago (at least… cough cough).

This is the layout that I worked on this time:

Better?  I know I feel better looking at it!

The rules are simple – - grab the mini - – and use EVERY piece in it to make a layout. You can add more if you like – but you must use all of the mini kit provided. This month there are 4 papers and 13 elements to play with. There are 3 solid papers and one slightly patterned. Let me see what you can do with this

Think you can do it? The kit can be found here:

COUPON IS IN THE FORUM!! This will expire May 1, 2012.
Post your layout in this thread, and I will pick one winner at the end of the month to get the full size kit for free! I will post the preview for the large kit, shortly!
Here is the kit that I will give out free to one lucky participant!
