Viva La France + Freebie!!

Do you dream of going to France? Do you long to see the magic of Paris? Or are you one of the lucky people who have experienced the wonder of this place?? If you've answered yes to either of these questions (or even if you didn't) then this is the kit for you!

Viva La France by Honey Designs is gorgeous! Now, I mentioned above that you'll love it even if you didn't answer yes to either question because I am in that category, but I loved working with this kit! In fact, I might even go as far to say that it got me thinking about the idea of France - which has never happened to me! But, I kinda want to go. Crazy.

And the best bit? It's currently 25% off!!

Here are my first two layouts with this kit
