"All Girl" Layout (Sophia Papers)

I finished this layout last night and couldn't wait to share it with you. I made it with the brand new (available February 1) Close To My Heart Sophia papers. Aren't they just plain gorgeous; so sweet and girly? I can't wait for you to see them when the new Idea Book is released on Feb. 1. Did you know you'll be able to view it right here beginning that day? Be watching for it on the left side of my blog!

You can click on any photo in this post to see it larger and in more detail, just in case ya didn't know.

If you read this post earlier in the week, you saw the exact same layout pattern on Jeanette's layout as you see here on mine. It's from our wonderful Magic scrapbooking how-to book and it's called "Magician's Choice" on pages 116-117 of the book. I LOVES me some Magic!

Up in the right hand corner of the right page is a little 'door' that you can open by untying the bow. There are 2 more photos inside. I love surprises on layouts!

I also had fun adding subtle but girly details to this layout. I used CTMH's new pink button collection (also available 2/1) scattered around the layout. I added some prisma glitter to my chipboard letters (I know it's hard to see in the photos, but it's so darn cute in real life!), sponged the edges of everything with hollyhock ink, and even tied some of my button strings into bows. The pink pom pom ribbon is also new and will be available on Feb. 1 in the Pink Ribbon Collection. A few little flowers and brads scattered here and there, and a little pink on our little Daci's cheeks (carefully sponged on with a sponge dauber and hollyhock ink...it's acid free, you know!) topped it all off. Enjoy!
By the way, I ran a little contest for my team in November and three of my team members earned some exclusive artwork from me. This layout (minus my photos and journaling, of course) is one of the projects they will be getting from me before the end of January. I hope Lynette, Pam and Tiffanie like it! If you want to earn cool things like this from me, as well as a great commission from Close To My Heart, leave a comment and ask me, or email me (pedermom@aol.com) and I'll give you some information about doing what I do!
