I don't even know how I was able to finish this layout. I had to work 3 days this week (as opposed to the usual two days) and spent another day in Manhattan with Melissa and Angelo for his oncology check-up. In any event, I just finished putting it together and I'm still on the fence. You know me, I either love it or I hate it, but not quite sure about this one.
The two darlings are my granddaughter, Bella, on the right and her BFF Abby on the left. I snatched the photo off of my daughter's Facebook page and printed it out. The papers are from a Scenic Route scrapbooking set. The flowers are Petaloo and the two stamped sentiments are from the Whimsical Designs set Whimsical Fun Vol. 1
The green lacy border has been laying around in my craft room for a couple of years. Not sure of the brand. It's glittery and self adhesive but I had a hard time getting all of the intricate pieces to release from the design, so I just let them be. The title is from the Cricut cartridge A Child's Year and I embossed it with the Cuttlebug tiny mosaic folder. I wrapped some funky yarn around the edge of the picture to hide some REALLY BAD stitching that I had attempted but failed at it.
I added some green gems here and there and tied a rik-rak ribbon to the tag and called it done.
Oh, guess I should mention the two border punches. One is Martha Stewart ??? and the other is EK Success scallop dots.
And there you have it. My second project for the Whimsical Wednesday challenge! Please see my previous post for the awesome prize sponsored by Crop Stop, the challenge details and all that good stuff!

Okay I think you win when it comes to a week of craziness!!! I don't know what you are on the fence about with this LO. I love it;) I LOVE those flowers, and that shade of green is so pretty! Were those flowers that color already or did you ink them? That corner punch is so pretty. All the papers are awesome, the colors, and all the little details. I think my favorite is the arrow..adds so much interest. You chose great sentiments to go along with your LO. Of course that is a great pic of the kiddos. Hugs!
