Hello friends!

This week over at the Graphic 45 blog, we are hosting a Blog hop with May Arts, the creators of fabulously chic and gorgeous ribbons! Be sure to visit the Graphic 45 blog this entire week for a dose of creative inspiration from the designers!

We were asked to create a project with a touch of these gorgeous ribbons by May Arts. I created a multi-photo 12x12 layout of my sweet niece Jaelyn featuring Graphic 45's Enchanted Forest paper collection and May Arts ribbon!
