Grade Nine Grad

I'm still in disbelief that Grade 9 has come and gone for my first baby girl.

She looked stunning, as did her bffs.  So much grace and sparkle in one room, it was tight capturing the shots we wanted but we made the best of it.

I used the Family Traditions Collection by Adrienne Looman to record the moment.

Isn't that bokeh paper great?  I added a little hand stitching with white thread for contrast.

The little baggies will be difficult to use up, as I kinda just want to keep them around.

I spent a bunch of time scrapping last weekend, and therefore have several layouts upcoming, it is just a matter of time before I can share them here.  And you can bet I'll have a few more layouts of Belle in her grad dress to come too.

Hope summer is treating you well in your corner of the world.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

My Love

Finally broke into my box of Adrianne Looman goodies she sent a couple of weeks ago.  I also received these cork flair buttons from {aflairforbuttons} last week.  I seriously love these buttons. I could use them over and over again on layout, after layout.

I have been dying to try out these quilt like squares I've seen around the scrappy world for a while now.  What I really wanted to do was cut each 2" square into 4 pieces and sew each one onto the cardstock.  But for the sake of time (which seems in short supply at this time of year around here), I decided to do it this way, by only cutting each square in half on the diagonal, and overlapping them onto colour coordinated papers.

I really like the way the white & cork combo grounds the multi-coloured themes of the patterned papers.  This layout makes me happy, it was a nice date night with the hubbs just last week, great food, good conversation, and a few laughs as always.  Makes me happy to document it with pretty papers and flair.

Thanks for popping in today friends! Pin It
