You know that moment when you blink and your little one has suddenly grown up right in front of your eyes and it just kinda hits you? Well this layout is documenting the photo that hit me like that. This photo was taken in 2020 - you know when Covid was all around and everything was shut down. Well that’s when my youngest took this selfie and when I saw it on her device I was shocked that my little wasn’t so little any more. 

She is the one out of all 3 kids that looks the most like me. And I am so happy to also say that she enjoys much the same activities as I do - including crafting. In fact the beautiful washi tape that I used to embellish this layout is actually hers - lol. I let her choose one crafting item one time when I placed an order and she chose Berries and Blossoms while I chose Anemone Magic. She agreed to share hers so I could create this layout. 

Along with the washi tape I also used the curved leaves die which I cut in green and gold and my newest dies the folk edge squares. I also used some pieces from the Happy Blooms Paper line which I cut to create the sentiment flags. The title was made from the outer cut of the Heather Lowercase dies. 

I am really happy with how this layout turned out. I will be entering this in the PinkFresh monthly challenge.

 The March challenge from PinkFresh Studio was all about using frames on your project. I decided to scrap lift a layout that I had loved since I first saw it last year. The original layout was created by Nathalie Desousa. If you want to check out her process video follow the link. I always learn so much from watching her videos. https://youtu.be/8oZSbmr78_Y

So for my take on her lovely layout I used the Anemone Magic Washi tape, scalloped rectangle die, small butterflies hot foil plate and dies, Heather lowercase dies. 

This is my layout documenting a day trip for my mom and her sister to the cabin on an unseasonably warm day in November a few years back. 

I have jumped on the hot foiling band wagon and am absolutely loving to look of it. And the more I use the PinkFresh washi tape the more I enjoy it. I especially like the washi with the gorgeous gold foiling on it. 

If you are ever looking for some good how to videos definitely check out the PinkFresh YouTube channel. They have some amazing talent over there. I really enjoyed creating my take on Nathalie’s layout.
