1. 2. 3. pout

it's the last blog hop for the scrap-it-lah anniversary challenge.  the last hop is over at jessy's blog.  she's one talented scrapper and i really like her scrapbook style.  oh and did i mention i like her photographs too. i'm sucking up to jessy on this one. lol!

it's a photo inspiration and this is how i got inspired by it.  this is my niece aly, my sometimes willing & unwilling subject when i need variety for my layouts.

i used a floral patterned paper inspired by the cupcake holder.  i used a ribbon and placed a frill on top to give it that dainty feel, much like the cupcake.  and, used touches of yellow for the buttons and the alpha inspired by the color of the photo.

i liked the simplicity of this design, just the little touches here and there especially that little birdie by the edge.
