remember about a month ago, when i shared a layout i had created with my friend krista's little girl? well, here's another one that i created at the same time. i already gave both these layouts to krista, but i just hadn't shared this one with you yet.

just like the first layout i did for krista, i used the baby mine collection, from fancy pants. this layout was actually based on a sketch, for an upcoming issue of creating keepsakes. it didn't get picked, which is why i can share it now. instead of 6 months from now. lol!

when i saw the sketch, i knew the products in this collection would fit the design perfectly. it's a little different look for me, but i had fun with it. and how could i not have fun, with that adorable face looking back at me 😉

the pink rose trim is from american crafts, and the brown polka dot ribbon (not shown in this photo, but in the others) is from jillibean soup. 

emily's mommy gave me the title. i asked her for a little journaling, or some tid bit that would lead me to a title for this layout. she linked me up to the blog post she did about emily at 7 months old, which is when these photos were taken. i pulled out a few things for the short journaling. and the "cute lil chunk" just called out for my title.

the filter flowers were what convinced me to try my hand at the sketch. there are 9 filters in each pack, 3 of each size. it was perfect for what the design called for.

the filters are a pretty good size, so i just scrunched them up and played around with them, until i got them down to a good size for where i was going to put them. i will not even admit to how long i spent on that part of my layout. lol!
