Angel Baby


Hello scrapbooking friends! I'm so excited to share this layout that I created for the CSI Design Team with you. One reason for my joy is the story behind the scrapbook page. 

 As most of you know, I am a retired elementary teacher. One of the greatest joys of teaching is witnessing the positive outcome of a former student. In this case, my husband and I were able to spend a little time with my student Robert, his wife and baby daughter. What a beautiful family they are and I enjoy being kept in the loop through social media! Here, we were able to reconnect in real life!

Now, back to the scrapbooking....



No automatic alt text available.
Here is how I solved Case File 260:

Scheme: All five colors were used
Evidence: Floral pattern, Stripes, Tassel, 
         Flowers/leaves, Lace and Gold
Testimony: Inspiration word, "Bloom"



 On the background paper I used modeling paste and a honeycomb stencil to represent the sweetness of parenting. 
It seemed perfectly natural to use gold seedlings to represent the sunshine this sweet baby girl brings to her parents and grandparents! 



 Techniques used are three dimensional work, texturizing, paper tearing, painting, heat embossing, and stamping.

    Well I must say, Patty, that this is one the best layouts you've made! It's really beautiful! What a wonderful story about your 3rd grade student and being able to be in touch. Lovely all around!

    Oh, wow... I don't know how you do it... absolutely beautiful work. So, so many details. I can just imagine how it's even more beautiful in real life. I love the little gold beads, and how they cascade down the page; the pretty lace peeking out from under the pattern paper; the stamping, and fussy cutting. Even the tag is beautifully done. Where is the tag on your layout? I looked for it but can't see it. Anyhow, amazing talent. I'm seriously jealous. ♥
