The Sweetest Thing

Challenge #3 for Totally Random was to use only Cardstock, no printed paper. This was a huge challenge for me, I love my printed paper. Usually, I start with my pictures, pick my printed paper and then go to find a sketch that will work with both. So I thought about it for awhile and knowing that I do not have a die cut machine(yay Big Shot) I was going to have to think of something.

Here's what I did have that made my just cardstock look better. I had scallop circle notes, and the die cut flowers. I also had the 5 petal flower punch from SU. I figured with all of that, and the ad that jumped out at me in my old Scrapbooks Etc magazine I could come up with something. My only issue was, I had to find a picture, a single picture that was not landscape.

This is an old picture of my oldest daughter and it isn't very good but it was a disposable camera so I'll take what I could get.

The page, super cute.

Last night I had my night off at the lss. I decided to do the challenge for Scrapping Out Loud while I was there. The challenge there this week was to use punches on your page. I love SU! punches because they are quiet punches and very easy to use. I often use punches. I had just right layout sitting there waiting for me to get started on.
I used the die cut machine at the store for the title. I really need to look into getting myself one I can use at home. I used the arrow punch from SU!.

p.s. I just re read the rules(insert the whole rolling eyes here) and I did the layout wrong because I also used ribbon, sorry. (and I'm linking anyway ;) )
