Love your Smile.

 Hello again and today I'm sharing a layout I have made for themadscrapper.blog using the sweetest photographs of my niece's daughter who is the most happy of little ones.


I started by taking a sheet of 49andmarket Sherbet collection (full list below) trimming it down by 3/4 inch and cutting it in half on the diagonal. I distressed the edges and then attached it only in the centre of both with a few dots of glue to a sheet of white and then I went about hand stitching along the edges but I matched the thread to the colour on the area paper I was going over (I hope that makes sense?).

 Here is a photo that I think shows it better, you can also see how I placed the first 2 photos after matting them on to a sheet of 6x8 paper. I didn't stitch where it wouldn't be seen either.


I gathered together 49andmarket flowers, leaves, ephemera and laser cuts and started to put together my embelishement clusters. Fishtail flags and a fussycut butterfly from a Cocoa Vanilla paper finished off with some glitter glue.

Here you can see how well all the 49andmarket flowers work with the acetate leaves. I added a Prima flower and a burlap leaf for texture oh and there is a pale pink heart in there to from Bramble Fox.


This collection of flowers has added pearls to the main flower and you can see the Nuvo drops I dotted about and a open heart from Bramble Fox.



I added a little hand written journaling and some faux stitching to them.


Just look at that smile 💖. At the moment this is my favourite photo of her but I must say it changes quite often. The title is from the ephemera pack. This photo is mounted on 2 sheets of card to lift it above the other two.


Thanks for stopping by today and I do hope you like my layout today. If you're looking for more papers and embelishments to add to your stash pop on over to themadscrapper.co.uk because Janine has lots and lots of beautiful things to turn your head.


For this layout I used a Free Sketch #18 by Allison Davis over at Scrapbook Generation in the USA. Sketches are great when you think your work is getting a bit samey.
