Hanami Garden Publication ~ 3 Layouts with Instructions

Kaisercraft Hanami Garden Publication by Alicia McNamara
Hello Crafty Friends,
Awhile ago now I had three layouts published in the new Creative Papercraft Magazine Issue 4.  The theme was “Around the World” so I used Kaisercraft’s Hanami Garden Collection.  This first photo and the last photo was taken by a friend of mine who had just recently visited Japan.  This middle photo is of my cousin in Bali. I tried to make three different layouts with this collection and they had to be different to the ones I had already made for Kaisercraft.  Each have instructions if you would like to re-create them yourself.
Layout #1 – Love
