my baby

I'm ecstatic over the new Denim & Girls paper collection from Maja Design!!

I love how Maja Design offers so many selections with their paper collections.
This collection consists of 24 double sided pages!!!  WOW!

I've wanted to create a page with Lucy's precious Feb 2018 photo for a very long time,

 but nothing ever struck me as being the perfect paper, until now.

I began by tearing a large piece from the "Summer Outfit" page to go under Lucy's photo.

Then I cut a piece from Blue Fern Studios 12 x 12 Damask Panel chipboard.

I further cut it to resemble tattered lace.  

For added interest, I decided to place it at an angle, 

which led to Lucy's photo being presented in the same way.

After embossing the chipboard in a beautiful Shabby White color, 
it just wasn't the true white I was looking for.

So, I added a top layer of Recollections EP color Snow.

The title "my baby" is because that's what I tell Lucy ALLLLLLL the time!

These Dusty Attic mini alpha letters are inked in a deep navy blue.

Below the photo area is a GOR-JUS cut from a new die I ordered!

What a BEAUTY!

I decorated it with Want2Scrap tiny steel blue pearls 

and Wild Orchid Crafts beautiful tiny navy blue open roses! 

After adhering Lucy's photo with alternate layers of cardboard for dimension,
I placed it at an angle on top of the chipboard.

Lucy's play ribbon is the inspiration for the colors I chose for the flowers.

Very special thanks to Lisa Gregory for her wonderful gift 

of the gorgeous Prima white flowers!

As you can see, placing tiny butterflies on this layout gives it a beautiful touch!

I just LOVE Reneabouquet's butterflies!

They are double side printed on very sturdy paper.  

You can bend the wings for a more realistic look.

PLUS - these come in three sizes in the same pack!

They are adorable and also so very vividly detailed!

I cut the words "You're Beautiful" from the page bottom that is normally thrown away.

It fits PERFECT under Lucy's photo.

Lastly, final touches of a couple of torn edges balanced out everything.

I'm quite pleased with this layout, 

so it's now framed and hanging in my scrap area.

God bless my Lucy!

Thanks for your visit and have a great day!
