Swirly Roses Card

Adding a magical cluster of bubbles (aka Dew Drops) floating down over the peaceful rose garden adds a charming element to an otherwise ordinary design. Use various sizes and colors of Dew Drops to add maximum impact and create added depth. I simply loved working with shades of lilac!

Angel Baby Layout

I know we have passed the half way point in the year but let's celebrate "new beginnings" anyways.  My niece was sleeping so peacefully through her photo shoot even with 3 outfit changes!  It was a new challenge to use grey on a layout but I'm super pleased with the result.  The pastel colors really highlight the baby theme.  The "Think Pink" label on the upper left corner is actually a fabric clothing label that I removed from one of my nieces cute outfits. You can learn more about this layout HERE on the ScraPerfect Blog.

I Am Four - Layout

Hey There,
Cutting balloon shapes out of vellum paper really enhanced the appearance of realistic depth to the layout. When embellishing a layout, I always select the placement of the largest embellishments first and continue to embellish in decreasing sizes. Therefore, Dew Drops are the last finishing touch for a layout as they are the smallest embellishment.

I will warn you now, there is an over-abundance of cuteness ahead!

You can find the tutorial for this layout HERE at The Robin's Nest Blog.
