MAY KIT!

Basic Grey has a very fun line that we are using for our May kit! With Life of the Party, you can not only do some awesome celebration pages but it is versatile for many different topics! We loved the felt flowers and bling that came with it. There are so many details in the kit such as stitched alphabet letters!
