Family Love....

So, after quite awhile of not doing many LO's it seems I'm back into wanting to do them. I really like doing 81/2x11 size and am storing them in a three ring binder, but sometimes I still want to do 12x12 and at Mikes they have a 12x12 binder(MM, Chloe's Closet) that I can get with a coupon for $10!! I'm very excited about this. I hate how much space post bound albums take up, so a couple binders and I should be good for a while.

This LO is based on another sketch by Inspired Blueprints.I used my Home Accents Cricut cart for the title and flourishes and the scalloped background. Only having the baby bug I had to be a bit creative making it look like one piece, so I cut the same size scallop rectangle 3x and pieced it together. It's not perfect, but I think I can get away with it since it's a dark color:)

It's a bit hard to see, but the brown scallop background is stamped with one of my new CHF backgrounders, Pretty Pattern. I love their backgrounders! (heck, I love all their stamps!!) I hand crocheted the flowers and have been playing around with getting my Cuttlebug to cut fabric and with a bit of extra shimming it's working! So the blue/cream part is fabric cut with one of my Cuttlebug flower dies. Added a few fuzzy brads, some faux stiching, lots of chalk inking and white pen distressing on the pics. Thanks for coming by:)
