baby sister

This layout came together because

I was determined to use the papers.....

I wasn't too sure of them together, but managed to

pull this out of the proverbial hat,

just to use them (afterall, I have paid for them!!).

They were the remaining pieces from my

Lime Tart September 09 Full Tart kit.....

The papers and journal tags are Jenni Bowlin

and cardstock is Bazzill.....

I have used the Martha Stewart

Punch Around The Corner 'Modern Garland'

punch on the red Bazzill cardstock,

which allows me to enter the layout in the current

Frosted Designs Challenge - to use border punches.....

The inspire tag was in the kit, so I don't know
who makes it, but it is stunning,
and I love it on this page.....
'baby' was cut from A Child's Year and
'sister' from Heritage Cricut carts.....



A wee bit of fussing cutting for the wee flowers.....
Some distressing.....
Velvet ribbon and lace.....
Voila.....



Photo is DGD Rebekah with new
DGD Emma in June 09.....

I'm really happy with the result.
Considering I wasn't sure I liked the papers (sorry Jenni),
but determination won in the end.....

Thanks for dropping in again girls.....

The latest sketch over at SOUS is a double page layout.....

Here is my take on it.....

The sketch, by Becky Fleck of Pagemaps.....

Everything on the layout has been in

my stash for a LONG time.....

Great to be finally using them!!!!

I love the whimsical feel of this range.....

The flowers, flourish and bling are also by Kaiser.....



I have stamped on the flowers using a
clear stamp from Anita's, titled "Jingle Bells"....

The stickers (yes, stickers, had to use them!!) are by

Forever In Time - the angel, wreath and title.....
