"Life is good" mini album

Hi friends, today I have a mini album I created with the new "Countryside Evening" collection from Heartfelt Creations.  I love all the blue colors and images on this collection and it was so much fun designing the paper for it.  

I used the die to create the pretty lace pockets for the cards.

Thank you for stoping by, if you have a few minutes make sure to hop over to the HC Blog for tons of inspiration from the design team.
