The Beauty of Heartfelt Creations

Today I'm thrilled to share a layout I created for Heartfelt Creations and I've fallen in love with this project.  I really love the way my handmade flowers blended with the fussy cut matching paper.  What a great clustering it made.  Please see below for a complete recipe and instructions.
