Bundle of Joy

Every Saturday on the Kaisercraft blog, they post a new sketch challenge.  Here is the second sketch for April from last weekend...

I love this sketch...and thought I'd use Kaisercraft's beautiful "Bundle of Joy" collection for a layout and a card...

I'm hesitant to call this a heritage photo....or a vintage design....because this baby girl is ME!

My mother saved my little dress, and when I had my youngest daughter's 3-month photos taken, I pulled out this dress and she wore it!

Isn't her hair hilarious?  It honestly wouldn't go 'down' no matter what I did!  But one month after this photo, her hair suddenly lay flat and never stood up like that again.

My baby photo came from my baby scrapbook that my mother made for me when I was a young girl. Here is the first page of my baby album...

That's mom and me in the hospital, the baby announcement my mom mailed out and the pink tag with all my birth stats was on my bassinette in the hospital.  That small piece of white tape with writing on it was stuck to my back after birth as additional ID, and the tiny newsprint cut out is my birth announcement from the Edmonton Journal. Isn't this album a treasure!  I love my mom. 

Now....back to my layout design.
For embellishments, I used Kaisercraft pearls and white flowers.  I also used some ivory tulle I had in my stash to soften the design...

I also made a card with this collection...

Here is a short video tutorial where I share my layout and card designs and simple techniques with the tulle.

I hope you enjoyed traveling back in time and meeting baby Kelly (who is definitely NOT vintage!)
