Birthday card for our neighbor

This card was also made during my summer vacation (it was a rainy one). I have only used Maja Design paper on this one, and distressed all of it along the edges, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, some butterflies from Karen Marie Klip, the oval die is from Spellbinders and the Happy Birthday die is from Tattered Lace.

My second LO - Sweet

I made this layout during my summer vacation, and the weather was really bad.  I can't remember the story behind the picture myself, since I was only about 3 or 4 years old, but I have heard it several times: It was picture time at the kindergarten, and when it was my older sisters turn, she started crying and didn't want the photographer to take a picture of her, so the adults there suggested that I came along on the picture, and then my sister was okay again, but as you can see, she still looks rather sad, and I have my arm around her to comfort her.

I have used papers from Riddersholm and UHK Gallery, I can't remember the brand of the 3rd piece of paper. All of the paper is distressed along the edges, and some of it is a little torned as well. The flowers are all homemade with paper from Riddersholm and some shiny no brand red paper. I have used chipboard from Scrapek (butterfly and corners) and Blue Fern Studio (Sweet). The branches is a Marianne Design die, and for the flowers I used a die from Nellie Snellen. I also used some black lace, stamped black text and sprayed with a postbox red inkspray from Dylusions (Ranger).

My third LO

For my first actual blogpost I'll show you a layout I have made. The picture is an old picture of my oldest daughter, I think she is about 2½ on the picture (she is now 12), and we just thought it was cute the way she was able to sleep with 2 pacifiers at the same time.

The paper is from Maja Design, except for some shiny yellow paper, that I bought at Tiger. I have used a stencil from Dutch Doobadoo, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and different chipboards from Dusty Attic. Other items used are an old metal button, a cake napkin, a piece of soft grey tulle and some halfpearls. I also sprayed a little with some black and white Dylusion Ink Spray.

I painted the chipboard pieces with white Gesso, and then I used a black marker to color the scrabble letters, and for the little round one, I used the Scattered Straw Distress Ink to make it yellow, and I think it matched my other yellows pretty well.

I'm entering this layout to the Dusty Attic challenge, this is their mood board for October:
