I Was a Bridesmaid!

At any wedding, next to the bride, bridesmaids get all the attention! I had the wonderful oppurtunity to be a bridesmaid at my childhood bestie Jenny's wedding back in '07. We've known each other since we were like SEVEN! It was a beautiful garden wedding and we girls had matching lilac bubble dresses, gorgeous bouquets and professionally done hair and makeup, courtesy of the beautiful bride. Truly an occasion to remember and cherish forever! Here's a scrap of this very memorable celebration. Alas, the bride is not in this photo as this was taken when we were preparing to walk down the aisle :(

A lilac and yellow themed layout. I used mainly prima flowers here and a huge Hambly doiley transparency which I fussy-cut. The only patterned paper here is a Prima Sparkling Spring 6x6 paper pad used a photo mat.
(PS: I'm the one on the far right heehee)

Prima flowers & pearls, liquid glue, peaarl string, Basic Grey Sweet Threads chip stickers, satin lilac ribbon; all overlaid on top of a fussy-cut Hambly doily transparency,

Love the Dusty Attic chipboard trim (underneath the flowers). Lace under the circular yellow shape is from Momoyo. Lotsa Sticklers glitter glue in Icicles. Buter flies are MS Royal Butterfly Punch.

Some Pink Paislee's Artisan resin elements here, misted in TA Glimmer Mist in Daisy Yellow. Tiny alphas are Glitz. Fancy chipboard trim from Dusty Attic.

I really enjoyed creating this because I get to go all super girly and flowery all the way without worrying about going OTT! Thanks for visiting! Have a lovely weekend ahead!

Baby's First Bath

I'm very proud to say that I gave Lucas his first real tub bath all by myself when he was around 2 weeks old. Well, I learnt how to from You Tube hehe. Here's a layout dedicated to his first bath. I used the transparency to mimic the bath bubbles and further accentuated bath water with glittery bubbles floating on the page. It;s the first time I'm using transparency and tags on a layout and I'm pretty pleased with the effect.
