Finally...A Layout!

Well, here it is. I've been pondering this layout for way too long, so I decided to put the finishing touches on it today. I need to be able to move onto other projects!

It was fun to use these pastel colors because I haven't used them a lot on other layouts for Scarlett. I have all these embellishments just waiting to be used on pages. Oh, and don't you just love the embossed Big Blooms? I really had to work with the petals to give them life again, but it worked out great!

I used a spiral and a brad on one of the flowers. That idea was inspired by a Marjorie creation.
Sorry for the pitiful picture. I took the pictures in Scarlett's room, and now I see that was a bad idea!


I used the picture of her cake as the title (still not crazy about that, but I had to have the picture of the cake for memory sake), and there is hidden journaling under the big picture on the second page.
I realized today that I have been scrapping way too symmetrical lately. I guess it feels "safe" or something. I really need to step back out of that box.
