Babycakes Framed Layout

Back again with another baby-themed project for you!  If you missed my post about baby cards, check it out here.  This layout uses the same color palette and patterned paper packet...Babycakes from CTMH...as the baby cards.  Love the grays and yellows with this one--very "on trend."  I used chocolate cardstock for the page, and then used various patterned papers and zip strips from the paper packet to compose the page. Then, I used butterfly punched embellishments (Martha Stewart) decorated with some bitty sparkles (CTMH) along the butterfly body and popped them up with glue dots.  Lastly, colonial white cardstock makes for a great photo mat.  I placed this layout in a black metal 12 x 12 scrapbook frame (Michaels) and gave it to a friend who just welcomed her 3rd baby!  Congrats Anna!  It will be a great keepsake for her to use with her favorite baby picture.  Scrapbooking and cardmaking is a GREAT way to give memorable and affordable gifts!  Try your hand at it next time you need to give a gift from the heart!  Blessings!
