Hearts of the West - June Blog Hop

I love this color combination and thought it was perfect for a Summer layout! I used Close to My Heart products to create this 2 page layout. Contact me for details if you'd like to recreate this layout! I used a pattern from the Make it From Your Heart Volume 1 book and used the following colors: Sky, Crystal Blue, Olive, Barn Red, Hollyhock, and Blush.

If you came from Anna's Scraps then you're on the right track. This is a circular blog hop, if you get lost or want to start at the beginning. You can find the list down below.

Oprah Quote

Happy Friday!

I had a fabulous tea at Starbuck's yesterday - Oprah's Chai Tea - Yummy! I love the quote on the sleeve around my cup and I wanted to share it with you:

"Know what sparks the light in you,
Then use that light to illuminate the world."

Have a fabulous weekend and illuminate the world!
