wanted to share another layout i did with the ADORNit products. the nancy jane collection really stood out to me and i couldn't wait to use it. the patterns are so cute, and i just love the colors.
i started putting this layout together without a photo in mind. i just knew that there would be a 5x7 photo when i was done. i have a stash of 5x7's that i've had printed here and there, of some of my favorite photos. just to have handy. this one of sarah ended up matching perfectly. granted, i have scrapped this photo a few times already. but i couldn't resist. it's seriously my all-time favorite photo of her. just so cute!
i got my swiss dot embossing folder out again. i think since i put my cuttlebug on the bottom shelf, i have forgotten about it. lol! the puffy letters are making memories. i had some empty space at the top that needed something, so i cut a little strip of pattern paper and added these little flowers. i had these from a kit club thing from years ago.
all the pattern papers, ribbon, and stickers are from ADORNit. and i have to say, that i have missed scrapping like this a little. all the little touches that i think i've gotten lazy about and not used as much. it's not much, just the metal rimmed tag, the little strips with the stapled flowers, just little things. i really like how this turned out.
they're still sharing lots of ideas over on their blog party, so make sure and pop over there to check it out.

I really love this Laura! All the little details really makes it adorable! Great way to use those flowers...I have a few of those and never used them because I didn't know how to place them.

Great work as always :) I am consistently amazed at how you come up with adorable details. See... I would have seen that blank space above the letters and been like, shoot, what do I do now? But you? You think to attach a little strip and some flowers! LOVE IT! :)

Way cute layout Laura! I just bought that swiss dot folder on Thursday! (I know I'm behind the times, but it was a REAL debate since I'm using it in my VERY dust sizzix original!) Thanks for the inspiration!
