The first is an idea I had ages ago and since I made this I have seen loads on Pinterest and I really did think of it myself!! I also made a picture for my sister in law in the same way but never photographed it. I punched lots of flowers using my new stampin up blossom punch trying to keep in a basic colour theme of pink / cream / teal. Then I layered them in a heart shape over white card stock misted with kesiarts pshitt spray ink (I LOVE the name it is so onomatopaeic - say it with a French accent and pronounce the p!). I mounted the photo with 3D foam to give it depth. It also makes a lovely picture of the children stand out.
I bought some big die cut initials in a craft shop near my in-laws in the spring and then stashed them! Madeleine and I have been discussing the layout of fairy tales and she is fascinated by the convention of having a large letter at the start of a page or story so I thought I'd use her letter to make a fairy tale name sign for her which evolved into a 12x12 page! It was also a good way to use up some random letter stickers. I balanced the title with a photo in a Polaroid frame and a cluster of embellishments including the buttons from a white stuff top! I wanted to record what is so cool about her at the moment and my journaling borders the patterned paper, a nice change from a tag!
Hoping to have more time to scrap now I am on my gap year!
