For the blog hop today I made an 8.5x11 layout using an awesome background cut file from Crafty Jen.  Here it is:

I used a few pieces of paper from the new Maggie Holmes "Bloom" collection and a few pieces of ephemera and stickers also from the collection.  I used one piece of yellow patterned paper from Pink Paislee "C'est La Vie."  I backed a few of the flowers from the cut file with different colored papers and mounted it onto white textured card stock.

I layered a few pieces of paper and a piece of vellum behind the black and white 4x6 picture of my youngest daughter from last Easter.  I made a small embellishment cluster and stuck it on with a large gold paperclip.  I added a Forever Love Cork Heart and a yellow Felt-Fetti Heart.  I also stuck a Mini Clothes Pin in there too!

I added a few splats of Heidi Swapp Color Shine in gold and added Pink Lagoon and Peachy Sherbet sequins.  Here is another embellishment cluster, this one with a leather tassel!

I used a chipboard "Party" from Maggie Holmes "Confetti" collection along with gold glitter Thickers to make my title.  I added a few Kaisercraft rhinestones, stamped the date on a tag and I was done!  I hope you are enjoying the projects we've made for you today!

Items I used from the SMS shop:

Peachy Sherbet Sequins

Pink Lagoon Sequins

E-Z Runner Grand

Forever Love Cork Hearts

Yellow Felt-Fetti Hearts
