Seven-A two pager!

This is for the January 24 sketch challenge over at www.stuckonusketches.blogspot.com. I made mine into a two-pager and used 16 photo's of my daughter's seventh birthday party. I didn't want to make several pages of these photo's so I cropped them all except two down to 3" x 2-1/2" and they all fit. For this first page, which is based on the sketch, I used:

paper: K&Co-best of Brenda Walton for printed paper; DCWV for solid cardstock

cricut: lacy labels with hide contour feature so the middle wouldn't cut out

Title font: Chell Chrome Bold cut in scal on regular and shadow (love the cutouts in this font)

Martha Stewart: butterflies and lattice border punch (the large pink butterflies are layered three times with foam)

Prima flowers

Recollections flat back pearls

little square word cutouts are from a freebie download at www.mysimplestories.com

Ranger: vintage photo ink

EK Success retro flower punch for the brown flower. I ran a stylus ball on each of the petals on the backside of the brown flower until they curled up and then flipped it over and added the white flower and pearl. I use the back side of my cricut mouse pad and a stylus and it works pretty good. I saw this technique at www.mcgillinc.com about doing flowers this way and don't have the kit so I improvised using the back of my cricut mouse pad and a regular stylus!
