(Erin) "Grin"

Good morning :). Just wanted to quick share with you my last layout using the April 2012 kit from C'est Magnifique, featuring papers from The Scrap Cake. All of the April kits have sold out, but for info on how you can subscribe, please go here.

"Grin"
The adorable baby girl in this photo is my daughter Aspen. Her smile is just BEYOND cute!! I wanted to create a really sweet and playful girly layout. I love this pretty heart-patterned paper, but is is a little busy. So I decided to tear out the center and place one of the 6x12 sheets behind it to create a base for my photos. The banner has a few layers to it, which I love the look of. I simply took some scraps and created two paper layers, topped with some remnants from the beautiful white lace included in the main kit. Finally, I hole punched the tops and threaded through the white & yellow twine, followed by a variety of little flowers, some tinted with pink ink. Behind my photos I stuck in strips of various papers, some decorated with punches, some distressed, all of them inked. And for the final touches, I threw around a mixture of white and pink paint before adding a handful of mini hearts punched from more scraps and popped-up with mini foam adhesive.From the Flower Add-On:

Thank-you for stopping by. I've been keeping busy with the amazing May kit from C'est Magnifique- I'm completely in LOVE with it!- can't wait to be able to share it with you ;)-
BUT- Gotta get going- Aspen should be waking up soon here, wanting to eat. She's such an angel- the boys get me up at 6 AM- she sleeps unitl 9- that way, I can get the needy ones taken care of before my little sweetie greets me with her beautiful smile. Love her :).
See you later,
xErin

Erin, I think this is a new fave of mine, love the idea of tearing a busy pattern up to put another paper behind it, very cool, and that banner, nicest one I have seen, very pretty with all the layers! How lucky you are that Aspen (who is the cutest!) sleeps until 9:00!! Zachary is up every day at 6:00, and has been for the last 4 years...feel like I may never sleep in again...

Love the way you just rip up a piece of paper, throw around some paint, grab some scraps and come up with something so beautiful!
