"You are my Joy"

I got out one of my older paper packs to make a layout I had planned on making but just never got to it. Do you know what I mean? Time gets away from you and WOW all of a sudden you are days weeks or months down the road.

So today I have a layout from the CTMH paper pack called "Lucy". It has the colors of Blush, Sweet Leaf, and  Grey Wool. I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to make some flowers for some of the embellishments and the mats for the photo. I used a stamp set called "Keepsake Alphabet" for prt of the title. It is an alphabet that you can connect the letters when stamping to look like handwriting. It was a fun way to add interest to the layout. A few other embellishments I used were Bitty Pearls, Paradise Paper flowers, White buttons from the Basic collection , Dimensional Elements for the Hearts, Blush brads, Sweet Leaf ribbon Waxy flax and embroidery floss for stitching.

I used the pictures from my Granddaughter's 4th Birthday. She was dressed in the perfect colors. How often does that happen?? lol My daughter is the talented cake maker. She made the "Pirate" cake totally from scratch. She makes them down to the tiniest detail. I can't wait to see what her cake will be for her 5th Birthday.

Hope you enjoy these layouts. Come back soon for my next post.
