Life's Most Precious Gifts

Supplies: Paper & Die Cuts (Upsy Daisy Designs), Lace Flowers (Jolees), Butterfly Stem (Recollections), Letters (American Crafts, Jenni Bowlin, Websters Pages), Trim (Websters Pages)

Today's page is design work for Upsy Daisy Designs featuring their new line "Home Sweet Home".  As much as I hate to admit it (I saw red leaves today!?!), fall is on the way and this line will be perfect for all those beautiful fall photos.  In the meantime, here is a page of my baby girl and her Great Grammie.

Journaling Reads: Write it on your heart that the ones you love are life's most precious gifts.




Today's Design Tip:  As many of you know, I adore shaped paper and can't bear to part with even a little piece of it.  When cutting piece off my shaped paper, I oftentimes will use them on the same page like I did here.  I offset the scallop to the left and had a small piece of it that was leftover, so I found a place for it on the right side of the photo.  This way I've added another little detail on my page and used the little piece that would otherwise be thrown out. 

For more examples, check out these pages:

Thanks for stopping by!

How clever - I didn't notice the offset scallop in the beginning. It's fabulous and something I have to store in my mental files :)

LOVE the layout and love the embellie cluster
