remember this post about alyssa's tooth ... the one she had pulled out? was going through some photos last night ... and decided to scrap the story.
i'm sure this layout would have been better if i had a photo of her after getting the tooth pulled out. but i didn't take any photos of that. i think these pics go so well though ... even if they were taken a few months before the actual tooth-pulling. lol!
the photo of the journaling didn't turn out that great. i printed it on a transparency ... since i wanted the dotted notebook paper to still show. and i didn't dare hand journal it ... because i knew i couldn't write that small to fit the whole story. lol! for the title ... i used a journaling block by maya road and added my puffy letter stickers to it ... and some doodlebug rub-ons as well.
and the lace number cardstock? sarah saw this layout earlier and asked why i had the numbers on there ... and what they meant. no meaning really ... just love that paper and have wanted to use it. lol! sometimes i use stuff just to use it ... because it's fun. can't believe she is questioning my design decisions!
supplies:
lace cardstock, pattern paper - ki memories
paper frills, rubons - doodlebug
puffy letter stickers - making memories
buttons - autumn leaves
journaling block - maya road
notebook paper - creative cafe
other - string, staples, transparency
Great lo Laura!!! I think the numbers paper works great on the layout!

Yes, I remember these photos and story. I like how you used them with the lace paper too. Great job!!!! Hey, could tell her the number lace paper is the numbers added up to how may beautiful smiles she will have
in her life time:-)
Welcome one of my dear friends Kim B. to your blog. I told her to check out your studio for ideas. We have been friends for 20+ years.
I have to run and promise to get back with you later. Lots of projects going on this weekend.

I remember that story...alyssa did better than you...LOL!
Maybe the numbers could be related to the long time you had to wait to get those guys taken out.
Love all the clear buttons and the Maya Road journaling tag...I have those and love them! TFS!!

Yep! I remember that story - how could we forget??? Love this layout - the color combo is great! and I like that you carried dots through the whole design! I think you can use numbers on pretty much any page! :)

I assumed you had used the numbers lace because you were counting the teeth that she would lose/pull out - or the amount of money the toothfairy would be paying for all those teeth.
