Scrapbook Sunday: Jersey Shore

Hi all,

Tomorrow is my daughter’s birthday.  She’s turning 13!  She’s had a great birthday weekend  starting with a sleepover with 7 of her closest friends on Friday night and her first professional manicure this evening.  I took her to a local fancy spa place.  She loved it! So of course I’m going to feel a little nostalgic about her younger years which brings me to today’s page, taking us back to the year 2004.

I just love those big brown eyes.  She has always had the best facial expressions.  For this page I used HOTP’s Little Prints and Patterns papers.  I still have a few sheets left from this collection and thought the pink went well with the pink in her outfit.

For embellishments I turned to my stash of flowers and brads, combining different types of flowers to create  large embellishments.

For the title I used my Silhouette to cut out the letters.  I created the banner shape using Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets 1 dies.  Other decorative elements include the gingham ribbon and the green brads.  It took me a while to figure out the layout, but I really like how it turned out.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
