My Pop-Pop ***Swirlydoos***

I am one of the hosts of the March SGC challenge at Swirlydoos. This is my example for the challenge… Part of the challenge is to use one of the sketches that the DT members have posted in the Swirlydoos gallery. This LO was made using Robin (Loves2create) sketch #115.

Most of this layout is Swirly Stuff from the astonishingly gorgeous March Butterfly Kisses kit, including the stick pin, which is one of Mandy's (Craftysprinkles) stunning creations and included in the Embellishment Add-On kit. The ribbon was included in the February kit; the journaling was printed on 7 Gypsies cardstock, then stamped and cut out. I used chalk ink to color the title and then was unhappy with the result after I had glued it down. I recolored the alphas with distress ink and applicator; some of it went on the pp and I like the result; it matches the printed inking in the opposite corner.

I love this picture of Sophia and my DIL's father at Christmas.
