Sweet & Perfect

I love these pictures of A's little features when he was a newborn but I wasn't sure how I'd put them together for a layout.  Then I found this really old paper that I had bought that was perfect for it.  I wanted to keep it very simple with just a bit of colour.


I made this flourish from my Bazzill stitching template.  I just used marker for the flourish and tiny black and white/clear gems to make it pop.  I love how it turned out.


I used ribbon from DCWV's  "Old World" kit and buttons from Basic Grey's "Periphery" set.  Those are the only thing of Basic Grey that I own - gasp!  I cut the title using my Cricut and the shadow is from vellum.  I chalked the flower grey with black along the edges.

Great job Dana! I love the soft colors you used ... it adds to the delicateness of A's features :) Also, I never thought of putting brads in the wholes ... what a great idea!
