Hopping With Heart Blog Hop - Loving Ivy Lane

It's blog hop time and we are excited Close to My Heart consultants that want to share and inspire you with new products from the 2014 Spring/Summer Idea Book!

My project for this hop features the new paper pack - Ivy Lane.  This paper pack is gorgeous!!  I used one of the new embossing folders {Damask} since I got it in and love it!! For some bling, I used the new pink glitter paper and one of the flowers from the Ivy Lane assortment, which I added a clear sparkle to the center of it.
