A little Melissa Frances paper always makes everything better.

I love the softness of Melissa Frances papers.

I created this layout as a baby shower gift…just added a photo of my kids while photographing it.

A layout just isn’t the same without a photo, right?

Do you see the handmade felt flower on this layout?  I decided to make a few extra and turn them into hair accessories.

Izabelle happily modeled her’s for me. What do you think?

And while I have your attention….

Check out this amazing table runner my Mom made for me. It was my birthday gift. I love it!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope that you’re having a memorable day!

OK. Because this layout is a baby shower gift, there is no photo.

I still had to share the little details anyway…

I absolutely LOVE this Melissa Frances paper, it is so soft and beautiful. Perfect for a baby layout, don’t you think?

For these hearts I made my own stencil using my Cricut machine.

I also painted a little heart on a circle of canvas.

Now, I just need to put this layout in a shadow box and wrap it.

Moving on…

I added a little stitching…

Love using my sewing machine!

…made a few folded flowers.

What is the technical name for these flowers?

I need to find out.

I was inspired by this:
