Welcome to day 2 of Cooking With Cricut's and Paper Crafting World's FIRST blog hop of 2012!!! Our Theme is "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue". Sounds fun doesn't it??!!
If you have arrived from the ever so talented Evelyn then you are in the right place! If you just happened upon my blog, then you will want to start at Melin's so you don't miss out on their wonderful projects!
Our designers were challenged to use something old (from their craft stash), something new (perhaps a Christmas gift or new technique) something borrowed (a cricut cut or PCW cut file or digi stamp) and it has to have the color blue!
Today I made a simple lay out. I had SO many ideas run through my head, But I wanted to do something a little feminine. My daughter LOVED to play dress up. She would always dress up as a little ballerina of wear pretty dresses. I made this lay out with that in mind. I plan to do another page, for journaling....I will post that another time. I really only do two-page lay outs if it is a really big event that has LOTS of pictures to post. I love to write on the page of my scrapbooks once in a while so I left some room here and there for that option.
LOVE how this came out!!
Sewing on paper is def a challenge!!
Check out those flowers!!
There are a LOT of new elements I used.
First for the challenge:
New ~ sewing, lace, and rick rack flowers I MADE!!!
Old ~ Paper!! I have had that stuff FOEVER! LOL
Borrowed ~ hanger for the dress
Blue ~ Obviously everything but the lace!!
To make this Lay out I used:
Carts ~ Gypsy Wanderings for the dress and phrases "play and dream"; A Child's Year for the scalloped picture frame; Everyday Paper Dolls for the hanger
Paper ~ DCWV Garden Party Mat Stack
Misc ~ Blue rick rack ribbon to make the flowers; lace; Ranger Distress Ink Tea Dye for a "vintage" look.
I am SUPER excited about how my flowers came out and the sewing (def trial and error)! I hope you have been inspired to try something new on your projects as well!!

Bee-utiful scrapbook layout. Especially like the color. The stitching & embellishing are wonderful. I was a follower awhile ago but blogger has done some strange things and seems to have dropped some of the blogs I follow but I'm back as a follower. Thanks for giveaway chance.
