Happy Girls Are The Prettiest

It's another reveal day at My Creative Sketches, and here's my DT layout for this month's lovely sketch.

I used papers from one of my favourite Basic Grey collections - Cappella, and embellished the layout with flowers from Prima and Petaloo, as well as some pretty blue-toned roses from my own stash.

And I also put my Martha Stewart punches to good use. ;)

Here's a look at the wonderful sketch by Kim Keane, and you can hop on over to the MCS blog for a look at the gorgeous prize for this month, as well as for more inspiration! Looking forward to seeing all your lovely layouts!

Love Life

A layout of my older DD using KaiserCraft's True Romance collection - I love the soft, pastel colours and pretty roses! Plus, their Collectables are just the most convenient way to embellish a layout with! Here, I just layered them using pop-up dots of varying thickness to give the layout a three-dimensional look.

And to add to the soft, feminine nature of the layout, I also added some muslin, laces and pearl strands.

The photo was taken on her sweet sixteenth birthday this year.
