I was inspired with Layouts this week, which is great for me getting the family photos in order...and this is my first page in my second album - yay!!! This layout is a bit if a different flavour than I usually do, I do try and do a page that reflects the person I am doing it about. This is my DD1 and she proudly boasts that she is not a 'girlie girl' although she is still feminine....so the biggest challenge was to make a page she would be happy with.
Originally I started with green and purple which are DD1's favourite colours but ended up with these colours - and she is happy with that! These birds have been chalked and had Kindy Glitz lightly added, then have been popped up on dimensionals.
The flourishes are embossed in white. I used some different size dinner plates to get the various size circles, I cut them out by hand and then sponged them. Under the flowers I added embossed flourishes and layered flowers on them.
The flowers are from RAKS from my friend Sabrina (aka okimom2girlz) and one of my Twisted Sisters, Deena (aka Moonrise) - I added brads that my DH went out and got me amongst other things, The butterfly is part of a Blog Candy that I won.
The sentiment MY GIRL is computer generated and has been layered on some Die Cuts that Sabrina (aka okimom2girlz) sent me in her gorgeous RAK, I didn't want to use them up as there was one of each, so I drew around them, cut them out and inked them, adding a couple of those brads from DH! The sentiment on the side of the page are Rub Ons from Kaiser, they are so perfect for DD1 who is unique and special - I think she got her Dad's smile...it lights up those 'twinkling eyes!' I also added a smaller flourish in the corners to finish off the page!
