April Paper Posies project

The April Paper Posies is a perfect reflection on springtime. And the owner, Michele, recently had a baby girl (after three boys), so it's fun to see what she is putting together with a little girl in the house :)



The pink in the kit reminded me of these photos from Lina's walkathon last fall. Her class's theme was "Have a Heart". They all wore pink or red.

 

I used some paper strips to border the edges and stitched over them around the page. The yellow bordered tag was part of the patterned paper. I cut it horizontally so that I could put it above and below the main photo. The corners I trimmed off the top of the tag were used as photo corners to frame the photo block.

The white mist was a last-minute addition to the layout. At first, I just sprinkled it on but felt like it needed more. So I used the wand to doodle some hearts.

I have more projects to share but will spread them out over a couple of blog posts since I don't seem to be keeping up with blogging too well . . .  :)

Teenager Wish List

When Miranda wrote out her birthday wish list last month, I knew I wanted to keep it for her to look back on. The day before her 13th birthday, she and some friends decided to dress up for school. It was the perfect photo to have to celebrate her special day.

 These products are from the September Hip Kit. There is a great combination of colors, products, and textures.

 The orange letters in the kit were a little too bright for the feel of my layout so I toned them down with some white and yellow mists from Studio Calico.

I used the glassine bag that held the embellishments safe in the kit for the pocket to put her list in. I loved the "want it!" washi tape that was included with the bag. Thought it fit the theme of the page.

Still can't believe I have a teenager . . .
