My 2021 Story - May Edition

 Happy Wednesday everyone!

I'm continuing our My 2021 Story Mini Album series and here is the May edition!

To create this 8 1/2 x 11 double page layout I used our new Hillside Cottage paper collection, the Months of the Year - May stamp set, Intense Black ink pad, shimmer brush to add water to the vase and our fantastic TriBlend markers! The markers are fail proof - so easy to use with beautiful results!

I challenge you to use my layout to create your own 8 1/2 x 11 page! Send me a pic of your layout (email: paperartwithnancy@gmail.com) and I will send you a goodie! 

Enjoy!

Nancy
