Here we go! 
So many options and such lovely paper;  In "Full Bloom" is one of the most gorgeous paper packs I've seen!  
It's "knock me off my feet" gorgeous!  
I usually make cards, though know I will be using this paper for layouts and home decor also!

Here's my first card using this amazing paper.
It's a Gate Fold Explosion Card I found on You Tube.
