Always Layout with Ginger

Hi everyone, it's Ginger here today! 

I love working on all the layouts for The Crafty Scrapper Design Team.   These papers were Valentine but I saw this photo of my youngest son Chris, his wife Ashley and their two children Kenzie and Colby which I knew would work perfectly with the papers.  The papers are from Fancy Pants.  My kids are in the park where a photographer took this cute photo.  As you can see Colby was looking back at the photographer.  How cute is that!!

I distressed the pink paper and added modeling paste and used the stencil from Prima.  From there I added a lot of goodies that were given to me.  

I cut out my own banner pieces except for two which in done in material.  I inked around the edges and pieced them all together.  I used a punch by Martha Stewart around the photo.  You can see the stencil from Prima and the little birdhouse by Maya Roads.

I distressed the pink paper and then cut it out and curled the paper. I then took corrugated cardstock and added Gesso.  I used by Golden - glass gel beads to the gesso.  I added a bow plus a metal object which I added the little pearls.  I also love Powerpoint so I wrote the word Love and used that to place in the center of the metal object.  I used a butterfly punch by Martha Stewart and added a blue pearl.

This flourish is by Maya Roads which I used green and pink paint and then black  on the outside. On the heart which is by Maya Roads I painted it pink and used pink microbeads by Martha Stewart then added a small flower.  I also tore the paper, added corrugated cardstock and cheesecloth.

I used this little birdcage from Maya Roads and painted it the same as the flourish.  I added these pretty pink flowers by Petaloo.  I added cheesecloth around the flowers.  I then took a black fine tip pen and went around the punch work by the photo and the banner and flourish.
