This is my daughter Chloë, happily posing, one of my girls' favorite pasttimes... lucky me LOL!!! Although I have to say, I love the bottom picture the best ... she didn't know I took that one, I told her to wait for a minute while I was doing something else, so she stopped posing ... and that turned out to be my personal favorite of the shoot!

I made this LO for the October Scraplift the person before you challenge. This LO was inspired by Senora x's "Rash", you can find it here: http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/30767/view/1745465/-1/0/1.html
I do also have to mention I was mostly inspired by Julie21566's LO's and gallery, which is wonderful!!! If you haven't checked out her gallery yet ... well, you should!!

Not much mystery about the how-to of this LO: I distressed the papers with my scissors and I added a doily of which I inked the edges red. The title and tree branch were made out of a cereal box and inked with several brown tints. I drew and cut out the bird, and chalked the edges of its body and the entire wings. The flowers were cut out of pattern paper. I then drew leaves on both sides, which I stitched. Actually, the leaves on the left weren't planned, I had to add them to hide a nasty stain, but I think it worked out fine, although it did throw the page a bit out of balance...
