Once Upon a Time...

...there was a little girl who brought laughter and sunshine into her family's life.  Her mother thought she would never grow up and would stay little forever.

BabyOfTheFamily Age 2
Am I still moaning about my Baby growing up? Yes.  ha ha!  So now I can gaze longingly at this layout and remember when....

I designed this page using the gorgeous Teresa Collins "Vintage Finds"papers and embellishments found in the new November kit that is on sale now at The Urban Scrapbook.  

I have discovered how much I LOVE working with neutral colour palettes like this.  The style is borderline Shabby Chic, which usually isn't how I create, but I kept things fairly simple and enjoyed the result.

Here are some close-ups...
The bling here and there on the page is from the BoBunny  "Apple Cider" collection.
I layered the Bingo cards to create a title. The fabric flowers are cut from the Sizzix Tattered Flowers die.
I die cut a Sizzix clock with the card stock in the kit and then coloured it with Brass Metallic Distress Stain.
The dimensional card stock stickers in this TC collection are wonderful!
It's a snowy day today...and the perfect time to pick up this kit from Urban and scrapbook!
