My sweet girl! ;)

I did a layout of Madison today and I love how it turned out! A few months ago, I found this dress for her and immediately knew she'd look adorable in it. Was I right or what? ;) The color of it fits her so well!

I got this picture of her last month, and as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to scrap it. Emily had just decided to give Madison her rocking chair and she was soooo happy about it! The look on her face makes me smile every time I see it...

Supplies: Fancy Pants Sweet Spring Papers - Shelby & Title Strips; American Crafts Buttons; Scenic Route Chipboard Butterfly; Colorbox Chalk Ink - Chestnut Roan; Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint - Tattered Rose; Brown Sharpie; Making Memories Edge Distresser; SMC Floss; Making Memories Alphabet Stickers - Chloe's Closet
*Based on sketch #36 at 52 Sketches...52 Weeks

Just a note...if you've never tried Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paints, ruuuuun out and buy some!! A friend of mine sent me a jar last month and I used it on the butterfly here. I painted a pretty thick layer of the paint onto the butterfly, and then once it dried, I sanded the edges and inked it brown. I love the effect!! If you click on the picture, you can see close up how amazing it looks...

Thanks for looking. Have a blessed day! :)

Absolutely gorgeous April, both Maddie and the LO. I still don't own that crackle paint, but seeing your butterfly, I immediately added it to my ever-growing wish list!
