Swirlydoos Scrapbook Kit Club: INTRODUCING

Welcome to our SwirlyHues kick-off party!!!!

We are off-the-hook excited this morning to bring to you our newest Swirlydoos creation, SwirlyHues!!!!

We love all of the color challenges out there and wanted to create one of our own with a Swirlydoos twist! We are going to mix it up a bit so fasten your seatbelts! Each month the hosting Swirlydoos Designer will decide if you get to work with 3 colors or, shades of one and we go monochromatic! We have some of the best tutorials on the planet and decided that to truly make this a Swirlydoos event you will need to choose one of our tutorials and use that on your page. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezie!

For our inaugural challenge we have a moooost have prize for you!!!!!! Prize info is at the bottom of the post. J
