Best Seat in the House

Here is the second layout I created with the September Kit from Scrap That! Adore this photo of my dh and ds. He is such a snuggle bum. After running around the entire evening with his brother, he was pooped! What better place to rest than in dad's lap?

Yummy fabric tags from The Shabby Green Door and some amazing blooms. I did a lot of distressing on this layout as well as you can see by the paper edges on the bottom.


LOTS of fussy cutting as well. I liked the delicate feel of the cut out flowers against the 3D blooms. Originally white, they stood out a little too well so I simply painted and finished by outlining with black pen. I added a doily (just can't help myself) and painted with distress crackle paint - love the antique effect it gives.

Thanks for stopping by today. Will be back tomorrow with a mini album!!

Here is the first layout I created with this gorgeous kit. My dd and dh sharing some sweet kisses.

I actually added the doilies and butterflies from my stash but otherwise, everything you see is kit!


Some gorgeous blooms - I hand painted some of the smaller brown roses with crackle paint and hand painted the swirls with 3D paint over a transparency sheet.

There is so much awesome ribbon in this kit. I misted this ricrac with Shimmerz Spritz. Can you also see the amazing fabric tag? LOVED these!
