Scraptoberfest Part 5! Pretty as a Princess

Exhibit A

I have been doing such serious layouts lately that I wanted to take a break and do something light and fun. Here is a layout of our youngest, baby girl. She is always doing silly things so it is easy to capture her personality in a photo (see exhibit A! LOL!) I love these cute papers from the "Fairest of them all" collection by Imaginisce! As soon as I saw them I knew I would use them for my baby girls pictures! Everything is from Imaginisce except the ribbon (Spare Parts), the pearl flourish (Prima) and small rhinestone flower (Hero Arts).

There are several techniques you will find on most of my layouts.

I love making things dimensional so a staple in my scrapbook room is foam tape, squares, circles, strips - all good! If you look closely at my layouts you will also find that Stickles (by Ranger) is always a must! A girl can never have too much sparkle!

I also like cutting things out - see that flower in the little birds mouth? Yep, I cut out the flower from a scrap, made a hole by the little birds beak and poked the stem through...what a cutie! I needed the foam tape to secure the flower; the bird and background are chipboard die cuts.

Oh! Did I forget to mention ink, yes I take it for granted I've been doing it so long! A little ink on the sides makes it pop! I have ink in all colors, but I especially love the Brilliance Inks from Tuksiedo because they too have a little sparkle! ;)

Awww... isn't she cute? This little chipboard princess reminded me of my little princess! Totally cute! Of course I had to give her a little magic sparkle on her dress (Stickles to the rescue)! The flowers were cut and layered with foam dots. I stickled everything and added the rhinestone flower. The center of the flower is a pearl I cut off of the flourish.

Lace ribbon is so feminine and pretty I had to add it! I am not a seamstress but I did use a needle and thread to gather the white lace. I covered my horrible sewing techniques with the pink ribbon. :) ha ha!

This is my favorite picture of baby girl right now!(Click on it to make it bigger!) She is such a ham! LOL!

You see that sun over the word sunshine? Well the sun and the heart were chalked with a stencil. You can't tell but the chalk has a shimmer to it too! ;) I only used one flourish on this layout; I cut it so I would have this little piece in the upper right hand corner.
