This month I jumped on the CKC mini bandwagon.
Frankly the inspiration kits scared me a bit!
They are so much like how I used to scrap,
and I worried that a full month kit might languish on the shelf.
Aren't they gorgeous, though?

One piece that I own is this cut apart sheet from a custom Wild Hare Kit.
This just looks like fun! So I used a Melissa Frances pair of resin wings to make a flying giraffe...

| American Crafts/Maggie Holmes Carousel "Carnival" |
I had a BIG birthday last October that needed a page, hence my "Happy Birthday to ME!" mini kit.
I got so inspired that I fussy-cut the card elements that I wanted before I had photoed the kit - oops!
One of my elements layered a wild-eyed carousel horse card underneath an elegant vintage framed Parisian lady transparency, perfectly representing mixed feelings about my sixth decade birthday. The sentiment came from an old forged card I had included just for that purpose.
My gold glitter came out grungy, but 60 is a little grungy!
I gave my flying giraffe a little add-on golden crown, a stickpin from Prima.
I tricked out this cute carousel with some bling & a little twine.
I added the border at the last minute & it just brings the whole page to life.
It is a hoarded favorite Felicity Jane Caroline kit paper - I even saved the middle!
Lots of fun (for an old lady!) on this page.
The mini kit option really does inspire.
Go for it!
