so many wonderful little bits to this layout - it is hard for me to think what my fave might be - I do love the stitching and the bling but I think the lace is what really makes it stand out for me!

I gotta admit, I love Ian's poopy face. :0 It just so blank and lost in his own world, it cracks me up. Silly, I know. Love all the sticthing on this too and the pleated ribbon too.
love this lo! You are really doing awesome with the stitching, and love the flowers (I must try some). Yes, and isn't it awful how we laugh at their unhappiness!
I'm probably bad for admitting that I giggle anytime that CJ cries because his face gets all scrunched up and red and he is so cute I can't help it! I think this photo best exhibits all of the wrinkles his face makes, how the dimples come out, and how red he was (this was only a few seconds into it, mind you, the boy's got lungs so you can't stand more than that). He still makes a face very similar to this today and it's still something that makes me giggle. hehe
As for technique, the lace is misted and hand sewn onto the page. Off-white lace is below it. I cut the SIIP up to use in multiple places on the page, and then stitched with a color similar to the paper to add texture without making it too distracting. The lollipop flowers are 5 circles of different sizes with the edges frayed and crumpled up and then stitched together with a cross-stitch.
All in all, I think this is way outside of my normal style, but I am really pleased with it. :)
