Love this page! I love all the details you put into this. Beautiful flower. Love the ribbon with little roses. You did a great distressing job, especially on the little frames. A fav for me!

Oh, so gorgeous, Trudy! Love all the wonderful details; so many to admire! What a marvelous LO you've created!!!!!!!!! I just love it! ...enjoyed reading your description also!
Wonderful layout! You are a true artist, my friend! While the flowers and all the artistic work is truly beautiful, the true beauty is your granddaughter! Nice job!
another lovely layout! both of these pages are absolutely fabulous! another fabulous rose! love the pearl accents..and the accent details in your scallops are gorgeous!
These chipboard layouts are my first attempt at screwing up the distressing technique...and I didn't disappoint. I've not used raw chipboard before and figured I needed to seal it so the finish didn't absorb into the board. Seemed logical. Yes? Wrong...After sealing the chiipboard I sprayed it with metal old gold finish, then I tried distressing it. HA! Everything I tried, stamping, antiquing, inking etc, smeared and would not dry. At least most of it washed off! You can still see traces of it on the background chipboard. Finally, I ended up drawing the black flourishes on the scalloped frames, with a 'stick on anything' Sharpie pen. However, after tearing out what little hair I've left, I am pleased with the results. I made the roses using Gabriella's tutorial on her blog. I modified them by scalloping the hearts and adding lightweight pink mulberry papers for a two-toned effect. And a little bling for extra PoP. Somehow, I managed to distress the small frames through trial and error and the white swirls are from the new StoryBook Cricut cartridge. And, of course, the pictures are my granddaughter, Julena. I also glittered the title letters...they kept getting lost in the whole scheme of things!
