Love & Laughter

This is my new favorite picture of my babies. They were having such a good time together just playing and laughing!!! I am so stuck on brown, I love, love, love it!!! Every time I try to start a new layout with other colors I am drawn back to BROWN!!!! Oh well, why fight it? It makes me happy, and doesn't hurt anyone, It's OK... Whew I gave myself permisson... Anyways, this was another fun time in the sewing/scrapping/hobby studio!!! As soon as a got my little man down to sleep I locked myself in.....and didn't come out until 2 a.m.....

I used my revolution die cutter for the letters, except for the grungeboard L that one I painted brown and then sugar glittered with brown and a little blue glitter. I did the same thing on the metal "priceless" embellie. The rhinestone brads were too silver so I painted the edges. I am pleased with how the silk ribbon laced around them came out. I painted the teal paper and even on the photo..,(very scary). The chipboard corner was plain cardboard that I painted and distressed and stamped. I made the silk ribbon rose and painted the bazzill paper flowers. The tiny pearls were fun to place on the stamped swirls, I like that effect! And last but not least the fabric swatch on the side is a favorite piece from my fabric stash . Along with it the velvet brown ribbon and the snazzy diamond buckle left over from when I made belts! TFL!
