Precious One

Hello everyone! Hope you are well and enjoying this spring weather we are finally having. It's time to reveal sketch #59 at Keeping The Best! This is the great new sketch
And here's my page based off the sketch
 
The papers I chose are from the Beautiful Dreamer collection. I had been hoarding them for quite awhile. In fact when I got to looking I realized that I had two sets of this collection hoarded away. Sad but true. I dusted off my cricut to make the corner pieces, then misted them with Cherry Limeade Tattered Angels. The flowers are a mix of Prima and some I've had in my stash, as well as the metal trinkets. The lace and that darling little doily I found in my stash. The cute little pink heart stick pin is from Webster's. I added a little tulle and pearls to my cluster to dress it up a bit. And added seed beads for some interest and texture.
If you get a chance to play with this sketch, I'd love to see you link up with us. Thanks for coming by and allowing me to share with you. I truly appreciate your time. Have a great day. 
 

About A Girl's Official First Challenge

Good morning all! All About A Girl has officially started their sponsored challenges with goodies from 7Dots Studio. For our very first challenge it's all about introducing the girl(s) in our lives, and we were required to do a page with our girl's name visible somewhere on it as a way of introducing them. It doesn't have to be the title, in the journaling is fine as long as it's visible.
So this is my page introducing my daughter Makara to everyone.
I used the Rondelle collection by Prima for this page. The flowers are a mixture of Prima and some from my stash along with the ribbon and trinkets. The flourish die cuts were made using a Cheery Lynn die. I painted the chipboard letters with "Malted Milk" acrylic, then stamped them with a ledger stamp and Stazon ink in black. I also used the black Stazon with my Inkido hummingbird stamp and the random stamping I did on the background.
Thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate it! Have a wonderful day!
