Again using the Echo Park - Little Boy collection. I combined some Bo Bunny Double Dot as well. The background is Basic Grey - The Basics - I love that paper for backgrounds! I simply did a basket weave of several pieces of the patterned papers. I Glimmer Misted the corner of the page. I tried something new, cork! I'd never worked with cork before, but when I had been rummaging around in my Mother's basement last time I was home, I came across a stash of several sheets of cork in varying thicknesses that my Father had acquired probably 30 years ago! My title took me the longest to do on this, I first cut the letters out of both paper and chipboard. I stamped a floral image onto the paper letters in a Stampin' Up ink - Cherry Cobbler. Then I ran the paper letters through my Big Shot with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder. Then I distressed the letters in Antique Photo ink by T!m Holtz which brought the swiss dots to life!
The journaling is a poem that I came across; untitled and anonymous, so I can't take credit for this piece of creativity; it reads:
"Two little eyes, discovering what's new, two little hands, touching everything in view, a sweet little voice, asking you why, a mischievous smile, a whimpering cry, two little feet, jumping on the floor, a toddler's mission is to explore."I hope you enjoyed this layout! Of course this one too can be viewed in person at Auntie Em's Scrapbooking in Cornwall.
