i have a layout up on the jillibean soup blog today.
check out that photo of sarah. shows so much of her crazy personality. lol! these photos are from 5 years ago. can't believe i had never scrapped them.
i knew i wanted to pull my colors from the photos. sarah had on a purple shirt, and had red ribbons in her pigtails. and the huge lollipop was pink, purple, and red. so i pulled out a few of jillibean's new pattern papers in pink and green, and some red embossed cardstock.
i know i have mentioned about 83 times, how much i love the corrugated alphas. but i'm going to say it again. i LOVE them! i adhered about half of my letters with mini pop dots. adds some interest to the title, to have the two levels of dimension going on. and i find that i almost always use my O's sideways, to make my titles fit. i dotted my "i" with a purple polka dot brad from making memories.
i also really, really LOVE the core'dinations embossed cardstock, that was created for jillibean soup. it has some of their best designs on it, and adds a huge amount of texture, in such a simple way. i'm finding that i use a little bit of this cardstock on almost every jillibean soup project i make. i added the little purple rhinestones at the bottom, to tie in some extra purple.
So, so cute, Laura! The pictures, the paper, the whole layout!
I saw the almond trees blooming on the way to work yesterday, and thought of you! I have yet to take my girls to get their pics taken in the orchard! I am too chicken to get caught by the owner!

OMG, this is SO gorgeous!! Look at Sarah! I feel like I know her personality so well even though I've never met her, except on the phone, lol!
I love the touches of purple! I would never think of a color scheme like that and next time I order supplies online I'm getting that paper!

Love this layout. I love all the different letters you used for the title (and love the title by the way). Sarah's hair looks so cute like that.
