Mitch and Emily

Here's a sweet photo of Mitch and Emily. They were making Christmas cookies! She had just gotten off from work and was a little sleepy so she was resting her head on Mitch's arm when he leaned over to kiss her forehead! How very sweet! Anyway, I used two different collections of Pink Paislee on this. I also layered the photo with three mats which is rare for me! I rubbed some Distress ink on the photo as well as the mats. I also decided to add a corner punch to the photo to emphasize it a little bit. I sprayed a little bubblegum Tattered Angels on the background paper.  It is one of my favorite layouts that I've done in a while--mainly because of what it represents! The happiness of two of my favorite people!!!

I am entering this into Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge - Shape it Up! The three small die-cut hearts are my 3 alike shapes! I also used 3 different patterned papers to fit Simon Says Stamp's latest challenge.  Two are in felt.

Thanks for visiting!!!

"Moxie Fab World Challenge: Diggin' on Doilies & Lace"

Moxie Fab World had a cool challenge.  I used red floss to sew my doilies to my card  I thought the addition of the diamond Kaiser jewels in the lower left added a modern touch to the card.  Butterfly and Red hearts have a little silver shine added. Hope you enjoy it!

Here is my entry for the challenge tonight! fun. As soon as I saw the challenge, I thought I would make a baby card. This one whipped up in less than 10 minutes!! Used my Cuttlebug folder (swiss dots) for the card base. This card is so muted that my camera threw a fit before getting a decent shot!
