Hey there, people! I mentioned last post that I've made a lot of stuff for Shimelle Laine's Pretty Paper Party class (which has been quite inspiring). Today's layout is inspired by all that fearless paper- and pattern-mixing that's part of the class, as well as Shimelle's sketch of the week, which just happens to be perfect for square photos...
...and it just so happens that I have a pile of square photos to scrap -- they just arrived last week from my first order at PostalPix, an iPhone app that allows one to order photos straight from the iPhone photo library (convenient!), AND they offer square prints, which is perfect for a Hipstamatic fiend like me (awesome!) If you're interested, the prices, quality, and speed of delivery are comparable to other developers I've used as well.
Anyway, when I saw the GORGEOUS Head over Heels collection from Lily Bee, I knew it had to be part of my November Scrappy Chic kit, because I could see this photo in my head and knew it would be a great combo. (Note: y'all know I am NOT usually a floral-paper kind of girl, yet here I am! I think the class is working....). My goodness, shall we get on to the layout already? Ok!
Holy cats, is that a cute baby or what? I can brag since she isn't mine, right? Ha. I took this photo of my friend's daughter, Sahana, back in April, and it still gets me every time. Since she's looking up (in wonder), I bumped the photo block to the bottom of the layout, but left the title up there at the top to give her something to look at ;). The title work is my second-favorite part of the layout (besides the photo, of course!):
I laid down a bunch of strips of my latest washi tape acquisitions (from Hambly and Amy Tangerine - so yummy) before layering on my title (letters from Studio Calico, October Afternoon, and My Mind's Eye [the pretty fuzzy ones]). Love. My supplies (including my embellishments, which are from Pink Paislee, Kaisercraft, and Elle's Studio) are all from Scrappy Chic, and this layout will soon be there too, so keep an eye out, local folks!
Thanks for an inspiring sketch, Shimelle! For now, I have to get back to the real world, sadly -- in the meantime, have a lovely day!

She is adorable and that paper is adorable, so what a perfect combination!
Great job using floral paper! Love the mix of red and pink with the blue. So jelous of your washi tape stash too!!! I have a bunch of layouts to share (soon hopefully) and I think I have a small addiction to washi tape :) lol. I hope to pick up my kit this weekend and drop off a bunch of new layout - can't wait to see whats in my next kit!! :)
beautiful colorful page... like it!
Wow, there is so much to look at in wonder on this page! Maybe not the background paper I would automatically associate with you, Ang, but it is gorgeous! As is the entire layout. I'm also not surprised to discover you're a Hipstamatic fan. :P
Oooooo! I'm not much of a floral paper gal either, but it looks so fabulous (especially with the baby's onesie). All of the embellishments are cool--love those bottlecaps, and the washi tape! Oh, and yeah for you for being Moxie Fab (your button card). I loved your apple card, too!
She's beautiful and this layout couldn't be more perfect. I love the strips of washi tape behind the title.
