You know I'm not a pink person, but the string of pink pearls is just wonderful. Luv the delicate border punch on the pic mat. So creative with the hearts trailing from your butterflies down to your flowers.
Oh my goodness . . . So many lovely details to look at. The sweet, precious photo is showcased perfectly. I especially love the pink pearl stands of beads and the pretty flower clusters. You choice of pp, colors together with the inked/distressed edges make this a WONDERFUL baby girl lo. This is a family treasure for sure. BTW - I am glad you were able to finally use those baby shoes too.
This is stupendous hon :) love the papers, flowers, pearl strand, butterflys. you are such an adorable baby :) I bet you dad was thrilled to get these :)
This is absolutely beautiful! I love all the details, and the vintagey looking embellies The shoes are just too stinkin' cute. The pink pearl beads and the pretty vintagey pp, the flowers, and well, just everything. Absolutely beautiful!
Love it when pages create themselves! Mine seem to be on a hiatus too.... LOL! Anyway, this is darling!!! LOVE those papers! LOVE the fussy cut flowers and your layered flowers on top - esp the pops of blue ones and those pink beads! LOVE the little shoes and of course LOVE the story! Esp that you 'documented' your teething on the photo yourself! Adorable and cute!
BEAUTIFUL layout and the scrappy style is perfect for the vintage photo! I love that you added embellishment to the photo before you even knew what scrapbooking was, LOL
It's so funny how we hang on to things we NEVER think we will use, and then BAM...you have the perfect LO for it---like those shoes! They are adorable, and so perfect! I love the feminine feel of this LO, and it portrays the baby theme without being "babyish"...if that makes any sense at all LOL. Beautiful job.
Every time I look at this page I see something new...your detail work is just outstanding! I adore those little baby shoes with all that fussy cutting of that gorgeous floral vine. This photo of you with the bite mark is just endearing. The butterfly trail of hearts was genius! (I might just do that myself). Loving the strings of pearls tying up all the flower clusters. I am just in love with this page! I am so glad you found this photo of you to scrap for the Childhood Challenge!!! A definite favorite! xo
You always provide lots of visual eye candy with the different techniques and dimension! What a visual it makes too to think of your dad getting this photo when he was so far away......seeing his baby as she grew.
I love how you incorporated so many techniques on one layout that turn it into a masterpiece. How cute to have had those shoes to add to this! They make the perfect compliment for that time frame! It seems like I had seen a baby card that my mom kept with that same shape of shoe! I wonder if I have it in my "stash" of cards that were in her cedar chest?? You may be happy that you have finally used them but arn't you glad you had them in your stash??
Gorgeous & sweet all at the same time!!! I love all of the details - the stenciling and inking, the flowers and pearls and butterflies and those adorable shoes!!! (Great story about the photo, too <3 )
I'm loving the story behind the photo as much as the layout. You have created a layout that is stunning and so pretty. The pink pearls with the flowers is the first thing I noticed. I can't express how much I love your layout but I do!
This is beautiful!! first thing I noticed after the picture, were the baby shoes, they look so real. Love the double mat on the picture. Btw You were brave to ink the picture, I would have bee so afraid.
I totally agree with Kathy! Your sweet little pic is precious!
I love the soft colors, added embellishments, and those baby shoes, oh my goodness~perfect!
Where did you find those shoes?
Absolutely beautiful
Oh Pat this is gorgeous! That photo is a classic and your dad must have been so excited to get it. I can just picture him showing it off to everyone who came across his pathway. Happy mail indeed! The papers are perfect and the pearl rope just classic for this style of layout. I am so in awe of your distressing on each of your layouts, the inking is always so perfect! Love the masking used here and did you ink over the top of the modelling paste? The stamping adds that little extra something. I really need to drag out my stamps more. I love those baby shoes! They were worth the something more! Thanks for sharing and inspiring once again.
This is me, nine months old, from my very first professional photo shoot. My dad was stationed in Okinawa at the time, and my mom wanted to send him a photo of his daughter, so she took me in and had these done.
This photo is one of the proofs, actually. If you look at the upper left corner, you'll see some damage to the picture. I asked mom about it, and she told me that when the photos came in, she let me hold this one. I was teething at the time, so I naturally put it in my mouth and bit down. Damage done, and documented, for posterity.
This is the LAST page from my FEBRUARY counterfeit kit, which I had moved over to my MARCH kit because I really wanted to get these papers used. I didn't know at the time HOW I wanted to use them, but when Cheryl put up the Childhood Challenge in the forums, this project kind of just created itself.
