So yesterday I became an aunt for the second time :)
Welcome, beautiful little Zahlia!
So, naturally, the first thing I do is dash out to my nearest scrapbooking store (45 minutes away). Yes, I braved the papers and actually picked some out - am quite proud of this because picking patterned paper frightens the heck out of me! I knew I wanted butterflies so just went for it!
This is the quick and simple page I made for my sister - I did the same thing when my other niece was born :) I don't put the photo on there - I just think that if it's going to hang in their house, they should pick their favourite picture or picture that best suits!
As you can see, I didn't do too much with it. It has a very busy background so wanted to keep things as simple as possible. I just adore the pretty fabric flower and the skeleton leaves!
And here is the card I made! (for those who saw this page previously, yeah it's a different card - I can't stop fussing!!)
I heat embossed the pitter patter stamp with silver and fussy cut in a circle around it. Then I used a punch to make a bigger circle in pink. The edges of both were distressed, no inking. Stuck them together , affixed 4 skeleton leaves to the back in a sort of fan and then stuck it all onto the bottom right corner of the page!
Added some bejewelling, some teeny tiny paper roses and embossed the Rock-a-Bye directly onto the top left corner of the card. Punched the botton left corner to soften it and to stop it from looking so neglected :)
Easy peasy and pretty!
Happy Families!
Dani :)
