Journaling says: It's so much fun having a little girl! The first few days with you in our lives have been nothing but pure bliss. You are an angel baby - so happy and easy going and oh so pretty!Notes: I love instagram! I always have my phone handy as opposed to lugging around my ginormous camera so I use it to snap pictures of the everyday moments and upload them to instagram to share with the world. When Jane was born I took pictures left and right - here are just a few of the pictures from her first few days of life on Earth.How to: Trim a 10" square block of robin's egg blue cardstock and adhere photos in a grid, with empty spaces, across it. Punch butterflies from patterned paper squares, adhere the paper squares in some of the empty spaces, and re-attach the butterflies using foam dots; bend up the wings and add jewels to the middle of each butterfly. Stamp a butterfly using watermark ink in each of the remaning empty squares. Back each edge of the cardstock square with white ruffled crepe paper borders, tuck a piece of ribbon or trim on each side, then sew around the edges using straight and zigzag stitching; leave the thread ends pretty long. Adhere the entire square on a white cardstock layout base, round the corners, then punch a doily border next to each piece of ribbon/trim; add pearls or jewels on top of the stitching by the ribbon/trim. Add a letter sticker title, write journaling in one of the squares, stamp the dates on the bottom right corner, and trim out some sentiments from patterned paper to adhere here and there.Supplies: Cardstock, patterned paper, ruffled crepe paper borders, ribbon, trim, letter stickers, stamps (butterfly, date), pen, adhesive: American Crafts; Jewels: Mark Richards; Pearls: Pebbles; Ink: StazOn (black), VersaMark (watermark); Punches (butterfly, doily border): Martha Stewart Crafts; Corner rounder: Fiskars; Sewing machine: Brother; Thread: Coats & Clark
