Love you just the way you are...w/ Baby Bud Nilah

Good afternoon everyone-

I am sharing a card that I made, using Baby Bud Nilah!!  She is just soooo cute.  I love that big bow on the front of her romper.

And of course I had the perfect paper, to go with her jumper.

My Mind's Eye Lime Twist: Happy Go Lucky. 

I LOVE this new lime and the 6x6 pads are just full of beautiful double sided paper. 

I used this week sketch form CPS to put this card together:

Chi Chi Memories....Precious Memories

Good morning everyone-

Thank you for stopping by today.

Today, Chi Chi Memories is introducing Sketch #32 and it will run for the next two weeks. 

I rotated the sketch, one click to the right....

I used the sentiment from Happy Carnival digital set on this layout.

I really love how this page came together...it's overall size is 6 1/2 x 61/2, but since I scrapbook on 12 x 12 paper, this will be set right in the middle, or I may decide to offset it somehow...decisions...decisions!! LOL!

I used Summer Days paper and sticker by Echo Park.  The crinkle ribbon I bought from Kim Duran from Paper Loves Glue, who has an Etsy Shop full of beautiful colored crinkle ribbon...I think you should check her out.   I used the tip of a Zva Creative swirl set, to create the look you see below and small Prima flowers. And ofcourse Spellbinder S4-234.

Here is a close up of the pearls and flower:

I will be entering the layout in the following challenges:

The Pink Elephant Challenge #100: Favorite color combo, polka dots and crinkle ribbon.

Sparkles Forum Challenge #11: Recipe

Creative Sketches: CS32C Color!!!!

Critter Sketch #65: Hip to be Square
