I spontaneously joined the Polka Dot Plum speed scrap today. It was totally a blast! I had a really great time chatting and getting to know the ladies some more. But you know what? for once I couldn’t choose a kit! then Aly suggested I try out Polka Dot Plum Designs’ Sweet Little Claire so I did. What an amazing kit! It had everything I needed and MORE. I’ll be using this kit again for sure!

I replied to the contest announcement post and then decided that I would do my best. If I made it hurray for me, but if I didn’t, that was ok… what was meant to be would happen!
So, for each, they provided a minikit & had some ‘rules’ we had to follow. the 1st round, we had to make 2 pages… here are my 2:
