Another Attempt at a Scrapbook Page: Lauren and Reece

Over a year ago I won the most fabulous set of My Mind's Eye papers and embellies on the Wee Memories blog and I immediately fell in love and hoarded them. I took them out yesterday to begin an 8x8 layout for my great-niece's first birthday. I guess it's really a gift for her mom, but Reece is only one, I'm sure she won't mind.

The beautiful papers are from the Sundress line in the Laundry Line collection. I thought the colors were perfect for the photo. I gave Lauren the little Madras plaid dress for her baby shower. I just adore this photo taken last August when Reece was 5 months old.


It's just a simple little page and I left the journaling piece blank so Lauren can write her own thoughts. I'm giving the rest of the kit to her along with an 8x8 album, hoping to inspire another paper crafter in the family!
I used two Hero Arts stamps:Leaf Flourish (a favorite of mine) stamped in green on the title piece, and Write Your Own for journaling. Happy Birthday Reece...and Happy Scrapping Lauren!
