Newest Addition

I really enjoyed working with the MME Bloom and Grow paper from the Scrapbooks-Plus DT kit this month. Since I don't have any girls in my house and I basically have no pictures of myself, I thought that I'd do a LO of our newest addition to our house- and the only other girl- Marley the Pig.

I really loved the Little Blossom paper that was in the kit- it was probably the paper that I used the most of this month! The Coredinations paper that was in the kit went well with it so I used a piece to compliment the patterned paper. Added the orange dot scalloped piece from the Grow accessory sheet and sewed it on. I also loved the journaling spot from the sheet but I had used it in another project- so I made another out of some Coredinations paper by tracing it and cutting it out and I sewed this on too. The rest of the LO just fell into place. One other trick I used on this LO was that I stamped directly onto the Bazzill flowers that I used. I used the same Mocha Mama ink on both the flowers and the edges of the paper.
Enjoy!

love the monogram for marley!

I got lots of giggles over our little April Fools Day prank of BOTH of us making guinea pig layouts this month - silly but fun!

I like the way you stamp those flowers - I'll have to try that sometime!

You have to click on the photo to see it big... but it's worth it! The stitching, stamping and glossy accents work you did is really fabulous!
