Happy Style
 Just love the gorgeous fashion feel of this layout with the pretty polka dot dress background, perfect to go with the fashion themed photo. Don't you just love those ballet lace ups? Miss C loves them so  much.
I stamped and distressed the edges of three tags to back the photo and doll. I then layered some frilly doilies and filigree type stickers.
 The doll was a lot of fun to colour in and layer. I also die cut out some leaves and added water colour to them.

Love The Smile
Isn't the butterfly paper just so pretty? I stenciled on some modeling paste and sprays to add a little more dimension.
I dry embossed some of the tag paper, stamped on a script stamp and die cut out some butterflies to mimic the ones on the background paper. I also fussy cut out the word beauty from one of the papers.
I added some tags and 'bookmarks' to the top of the title card and popped up some parts of the title.

Ma Belle Fille
Love the soft romantic colours on this layout. I kept the photo black and white to keep the almost monochromatic look of the page.
I love this group of flowers and the little Eiffel tower peeking through. The metallic heart is so cute.
I tore strips of the pink polka dot paper and layered them on top of each other. I also fussy cut roses to tuck under them. I then added the title on top.
More flowers on the top left corner of the photo and a few word stickers to frame them.

Here are some of the layouts from our other ladies:

Adventure on the Peak

Hello there. Getting round to posting some of my past layouts. My sister in law and nephew were over from the UK in May and we finally had a rain free day to go up to the Peak to see the sights.

Adventure on the Peak
I am loving this Graphic 45 Cityscapes collection, especially as Hong Kong is listed in the city names. Just love the image cards. Perfect for my Peak photos. Love the blues and reds together.
On the cities card, I matched a distress marker to the rusty red of the kit to colour out the city names apart from Hong Kong to make it pop out. Don't you just love the postcard which I used as a... postcard.
I finished off the page with a simple title.

Products Used
Papers, chipboard and stickers from Graphic 45 Cityscapes collection
Faux leather title alpha from American Crafts

Thanks for looking,
