Today I want to share a LO with you I made for my little girl. Generally I do 2 page layouts, and rarely are my pages so girly, but I had fun designing this page.I thought this page needed lots of bling, so I made my own "sugared" brads. I applied liquid glue to the top of the brads and dipped them in some Doodlebug glitter. I'm pretty pleased with how well they turned out. Who knew I could be thrifty?! Don't tell anyone! I also took a white Prima flower (Trellis Rose) and used Glimmer Mist (Tattered Rose) to pick up the darker pink accents in the paper. The blingy, I don't think that's really a word, flower stem is also from Prima. The background paper has a really nice scalloped border and I knew I wanted to add ribbon, but I didn't want it to cover the edges. So I used my craft knife to make 2 slits at both the top and bottom of the page and inserted the ribbon. Then I adhered the ribbon with tape to the back of the cardstock. I don't know how well you can see it in the pictures, but I embossed my photo mat with the Linen Texture Plate from Papertrey Ink.
And here's my girl...

The scalloped oval is cut from a Cricut cartridge, the bad news is I can't remember which one, because apparently I didn't save it on my Gypsy...oops. But there are several cartridges that have similar shapes. I chose one I liked and used my Gypsy to stretch it so my photo mat could fit inside.
This was a pretty quick LO. I was excited to try some new techniques and will definitely be incorporating those in future projects. Thanks for stopping by!

Layouts like this are so interesting to me with all that blank space. I can never seem to let myself leave it that way... Looks cool!
