57 Minutes (a layout)

A simple, simple layout that went up in the gallery (more details here) at Two Peas earlier this month:

©Two Peas in a Bucket

Supplies:

• Patterned paper from Typography Corner by Vinnie Pearce
• Solid paper from Bloom Papers by Vinnie Pearce
  
• Flowers from Peach Hill kit by Vinnie Pearce
• Basic Stitches by Mary Ann Wise
• Curled Photo Frames by Mary Ann Wise

Things to note:

• I tried adding more to this layout. If you follow the blog, then you probably scrapbook, and if you scrapbook, then you've probably noticed that I am a sucker for little details on my pages. But it just wasn't working here. This layout wasn't having any of that detail-schmetail stuff. Derrick tells me that is OKAY. :)
• I played around with the opacity of a brush to get the layered watercolor paint "frame" for the photo.
• I layered a solid green over one of Vinnie Pearce's Typography Corner papers and changed the opacity for a soft, vellum-y look.
• Those cute little heart flowers are from Vinnie's Peach Hill kit.
• Someday, I will blog about something other than scrapbooking.

Oh this is so incredibly sweet. Love those little heart flowers. I wish I could find those IRL. I suppose I could make them. Except I'm not crafty like that. LOL.
I for one don't mind that you're only blogging about scrapbooking! I'm just glad you're able to keep posting your beautiful pages.
By the way, I think it was you I got the "9 in 9 out" page idea from. Well I finally did it now that my babes are 9 months old. I searched your blog for where I saw you mention it, and couldn't find, as I wanted to credit you for the original idea.

Im thinking some lines of green stitching (or green pen) and a few hearts punched out of red patterned paper and youre set to make those cute little heart flowers!

I cant believe your babies are 9 months old all ready! My how time flies. :)

this is simple and gorgeous mary! that wonderful photo doesn't need anything else to draw attention away from it! i still have his baby announcement on my fridge. i'm sure the time has flown by for you ... but i saw it yesterday, and thought "he's ONLY 2 months?". i guess in my mind, he was already older. lol!
