Around The Block Templates by Kay Miller Designs

We are now entering the final round of the Design Star competition. Congrats to the ladies moving on to Round Four!

Hi everyone!  Its Amanda (Abhall76) here to kick of the day with my first “it’s in the cards” template.   I decided to do a template for a pocket card that I have always loved.  There are so many possibilities with this one as I am sure you will see by some of the great samples that the Creative Team have come up with!

I will start off with my sample using Pebbles and Butterflies by Haynay Designs,  Create It Yourself: Flowers v. 1 and Create It Yourself: Leaves & Stems by Krisi’s Kreations

Next we have this gorgeous birthday invitation by Melanie (scrappymelly) using Main Street Magic by Connie Prince.

And now here is lovely one by Carina (cinna) using That’s Not My Clover by Erica Zane

Karen (bydelstorp) came up with this great birthday card using Cupcakes & Candles and You Say It’s Your Birthday mega collabs by the ScrapMatters Design Team.

Here is the fantastic way Cathy (Scrappycath) came up with to let someone know you love them.  She used Orange Crush by Jennifer Labre Designs.

And here is a fantastic one that Jewelle (jubeejewels) came up with using Erica Zane’s What’s Cooking? {the whole batch}.

So now that you have seen some fantastic samples I hope the template doesn’t scare you too much.  It really is easier (and far more fun) than it looks!  I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

You can grab the template here!
