Full of Grace
This layout is actually based on a Becky Fleck sketch (www.pagemaps.com) although I didn't follow it too well. I did this page at a crop and of course I didn't have all of the supplies I would have liked. I didn't intend for the background to be black but the pink I had picked out didn't really match even though it came from the same kit as the pink flowered paper. The journaling spot is actually a clear sticker but I had to adhere it to some white CS so you could read the writing when I ended up with the black background.
Directions: Cut pink flowered pp. Punch circles from purple dot pp and attach to back of pink pp so half sticks out. Attach to black CS. Adhere purple border sticker below circles. Overlap purple pp on pink then attach photo on top. Write journaling and attach to white CS. Cut out, ink edges and attach. Use border punch on strip of white CS. Adhere letter stickers and attach with two brads and photo prongs. Thread ribbon through buckle, wrap around background and attach ends to back. Embellish buckle with flowers, attaching one with brad and place a gem in the center of the other one. Add heart sticker. Attach letter stickers to tab for date, embellish with gem and adhere. Rub gold ink pad around edges of pad.

Silly Lollipop Foot = Tease
This is such a silly picture of my niece putting a lollipop in her mouth with her foot. I use a rebus style title since I had the foot sticker and then saw the lollipop sticker at Target (now I have a whole sheet and no idea what I'll use them for...) Iwas glad to mix some old patterned paper with some new paper and finally use one of my Making Memories clear flowers that I got from the Two Peas clearance.Supplies: White carstock, DCWV pink cardstock, Pocket Full of Posies pp and Spring Stack border sticker, Frances Meyer Dizzy Dots pp, Making Memories journaling stamp and clear flowers, Stickopotamus foot and lollipop sticker, KI Memories word stickers, white Uniball gel pen, Fiskars Scallop Sentiment border punch, Broken China Distress ink pad, foam tape, Studio 88 gem
Directions: Scallop edge of white CS and attach to pink CS. Cut pps to fit next to photos. Stamp dotted paper with journaling spot and write journaling with white pen. Add border sticker. Top with clear flower using foam tape. Add gem to flower center. Arrange stickers to create title.
MIL
This layout features me and my new mother-in-law. I liked how we were both wearing similar shirts and wanted to echo that with the background paper. This page was pretty straight-forward to create but I did smudge the journaling. Hopefully it adds to the grungy feel of the page.Supplies:
My Mind's Eye Bohemia pp, gray cardstock, K&Co. chipboard letters, Prima flowers, Chatterbox Fabulous date tag, photo mat and word art, Studio 18 gems, K&Co. brad, Daisy D's journaling spot, white Uniball gel pen, Fiskars Upper Crest border punch, foam tape
Directions
Cut patterned paper (pp) to 8.5 by 11. Edge gray CS with border punch, cut to about 1/3 of page size and attach across middle. Arrange photo, journaling spot, tag and flower on top of mat and attach all. Poke holes along top edge of gray area and around photo corner and draw lines between holes to simulate stitching. Attach chipboard letters above gray section. Attach "thoughts" word art below photo area with foam tape.
