Let me say straight away that I will always have a place in my heart for Dani Mogstad's "Timeless Kit".  For a tiny kit I have definitely used it a lot. Because of this, every time I see the Mogstad name on a kit I squeal "Dani Mogstad!" in the style of a squeeing fangirl (but to myself.  If I did it out loud that would just be weird!)

Papers - A good mix of patterns and plains in this kit.  I love the inclusion of the purple papers.  Purple is a very strong color to match, but they have managed it in this kit.  The "In Your Face!"-ness of the purple is tempered by the dots that they have incorporated on one of the sheets.  It co-ordinates well with the splashes of purple on the floral page.  Looking at the mix of papers again, they have put quite a few strong colours together in a way that isn't overwhelming.  The mix of pinks and blues means it can be used on both male and female LOs.  The two striped papers are different enough from each other that they can be used one on top of each other for a real blast of funkiness.

Elements - Love the ribbon butterflies.  Used in conjunction with the glitter trails they will really make a LO pop.  The glitter trails and thought bubbles could also be used together to make a funky "call-out" on your picture.  I like the mix of ribbons, especially the small purple gingham ribbon.  I'm not a big fan of ric-rac, however I like the stitching they have added to their ric-rac to make it a bit different.  The felt trim is fun, and I like all the different flowers.  I can see them used one on top of each other to make a border or separation area in a LO.  If you have a four word title for your LO I can see it split between all the journaling boxes, or even split journalling for something a bit different.  The stitched ribbons photo corner is a nice touch.  The pink, blue, and orange trimmed alphas cover all the bases and shows the versatility of this kit.

One sentence round up      Does exactly as it says on the blurb - a fresh and funky collaboration that will indeed have your pages screaming "SPRING!"
