Captivating Smile

My DGD, Helen Grace. I used BG Lemonade collection. The flowers are all Prima, as well as the pearl bling. The bird is a chipboard embellie (lemonade). I used a transparency overlay behind the photo an cut the swirls so that the photo could slide under them. I used a fiskar scallop punch for the edges. I made a "box" frame using 1/4 inch strips of the pprs. The centers for the green blooms are pink bling. I added pink Robins Nest half beads to accent each corner. Added ink to most edges and a little faux stitching around the large mat. I also used some 3D pink paint to highlight the edges of the scallops. Journaling is tucked behind the photo and reads:


Helen Grace, you have such a sweet disposition (usually!). You are an affectionate little girl, and I am so glad. You’re generous with your hugs and kisses (when you want to be). You have the cutest dimples, soft curls in your hair, and you are definitely a girly-girl. But there’s one thing about you that we all love to see --- your adorable captivating smile.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
