LOTW and Sunday Spotlight – Cnscrap

Wow, the layouts in the gallery were absolutely fabulous this week. I had such a hard time narrowing it down to just one. This layout by KayM really caught my eye, though. I love the way she duplicated the picture and blended it on the background. And the cluster with the little bit of sparkle is just the perfect accent.

Congrats KayM!! Head on over to the gallery or the forum and leave her some love!!
