Sweet...

I actually got a layout accomplished today! I wasn't planning on scrapping but you know how those supplies call your name all day?? Well, I gave in! :)

My sweet girls (hence the name of the layout, lol) sharing some kisses...they are so lovey!! The funny thing about it is that the picture I started with was actually a different one. I tried to put it on the layout about 4 times in different ways and it just felt off, you know? I looked through my pics again and saw this one and once I tried it, it felt right so I went with it...



This was a very simple layout to do. I took a dinner plate and traced a circle onto the back of my patterned paper and cut it out. Next I distressed the edges with my scissors and inked them brown. Then I went to choose some cardstock for the background and guess what? I didn't have the right color! I know, I know...you should be sure of these things before you start right? Well, I was already in the middle of it and not going back! I just decided to go with a baby pink color that matched the patterned paper pretty closely and inked it brown in spots to soften it some. I'm pretty happy with the results, but next time I'll make sure I match the papers first, lol... ;)
