Felt Rose Headbands

I have all sorts of pretty, girly, headbands for Jaylyn and I’ve put all of them on her. I just think they’re soooo cute. I’ve made her crochet ones and bought her all sorts of soft stretchy ones. She keeps NONE on her head. Jaylyn thinks headbands are more fun worn as necklaces. My favorite ::insert sarcasm:: is when I grab them from in her playpen and they are cold and slobbery!! Yuck, yuck, yuckedy, yuck! Don’t ask me what made me think that these would be any different; but they’re sooo stinkin’ cute and fun to make, so I made them anyway!

Sweet Smile

My son has the sweetest smile I've ever seen. His face lights up every time and his gorgeous dimples are to die for! I have sooooo many pictures of him smiling, he's always smiling, and I thought it would be perfect to make a page for his album with a few different pictures of his smile. Here it is...

Not to mention, I really wanted to use My Mind's Eye, Alphabet Soup (the boys line). The paper is so fun and simple! I love My Mind's Eye!!

For this layout, I used 3 different pictures of my son and cut them down as fit to make them, together, one 5x7.

I drew the hot air balloons on the paper and cut them out, pieced them together with pop up foamies and some bakers twine, used a button from Papertrey Ink on the smaller one as the basket, and voala!! Sooo stinkin' cute! :)

The banner I also cut myself. It's basically 1.5 inch thick strips of patterned paper cut to different lengths. For the tip, I lightly folded the strips in half, being very careful to not crease the paper to much, and cut at an angle like you would the tips of ribbon. I added the bakers twine along the top and continued it randomly on the page. I love the final result!
