I'm So Cute Lay-out


this baby is just the cutest ever! lol. i just had to scrapbook the pictures for posterity.

the main paper pattern is a beautiful embossed mother goose and humpty dumpty theme. i tore matching patterned papers for color blocking on top and at the bottom. after layering the pics with matching cardstock, i then positioned the big picture in the center upper half, then arranged the mini pictures at the bottom. i wanted the look of a baby's clothelines so i loosely positioned a string on top and attached the ends with snaps. the other embellishments i made, i hung them with a thin blue ribbon and secured them on the clothesline with mini clothespins. for the title, i used transparent gold alphas. a matching two toned colored ribbon on the side balances and completes the lay-out.

materials: k & co paper, the paper company vellum paper, ribbons, brads, inks, etc.

It's Party Time!

It's Party Time! Lovely pink and lime combo. Brads on the side add a nice accent. Handmade giftbox accented with two layers of ribbons in analogous shades of pink.

Daffodils for Mom

a bright and cheery card to welcome the onset of spring and celebrate mother's day. the sheerness of the ribbon complements the intricate details of vellum daffodils amidst the backdrop of a jagged, textured, lime cardstock adorned with pre-stamped fancy scrolls.

MOM alpha stickers were layered on top of matching cardstock and cut for a more outlined effect. a decorated scalloped oblong chipboard provides the background for the MOM word and adds another layer of texture to the design.
