Nicole's FIERCE, FABULOUS AND FORTY Blog Hop

Welcome all to Nicole's FIERCE, FABULOUS AND FORTY Blog Hop. There are so many talented ladies joining the party. The wonderful women in this hop were asked to make anything related to the theme - cards, banners, scrap layouts, posters, bulletin boards, magnets, crafty knick-knacks, bookmarks, home decor and accents and so on and so on <G>.

Now let's get on with the festivities! If you came from Zenita's blog: Scrappin With Z then you are on the right track. If you want to start from the beginning, please hop on over to Nicole's Blog.

 ***************************
I'm a card and anything paper type of crafter but the one area that is hard to motivate myself is in making scrap book page layouts. I know that seems weird but when I sit down to do the layout, it never ends up as I planned. I have sketched it out ahead of time and picked out the papers I was going to use and in the end it never looks like the sketch or I end up only using one or two of the papers I've picked out plus a whole different bunch. Saying all that, I decided for this challenge to challenge myself and make a layout so here it is...
 The card stock came from DCWV - The Celebration Stack.

Don't you love the sentiment? I used my Cricut and the cartridge, Storybook. The inner flower, found on page 36, is cut at 3 inches and the outer flower cut at 3.5 inches.

Thank you for checking my layout out and I would love it if you would leave me a comment below before hopping along to the next blog. Have a wonderful, fierce, and fabulous day!
