I printed out these photos but never could decide whether I

liked the combination or wanted to do individual photos...

I found this title on the Silhouette website and decided

it would be perfect with the Indie Chic and Nostalgia

collections from My Mind's Eye. I actually had them

all set aside for this layout when I decided to use it for the

July Sketch that Keri Babbitt did for MME.

I love her style and the sketch was awesome!

Here is the link to that post:

Poor Sofia, her birthday lands right in the middle of

Spring Break and I still haven't learned my lesson for

planning early or late. We had sent out invites for a

rocker girl party, started buying supplies and making plans

& the only people who could come were our cousins & 1 friend.

Sadly, it wasn't quite the party Fia had in mind...

sooooo we decided to postpone a big party for a year,

(at least a week early!) & we bribed her with a trip to ToysRUs,

dinner at her favorite restaurant (i.e. cheese dip) and the

biggest cupcake she could find from Whole Foods...

bribery works, and I am so not above it!

The three things I am obsessed with right now are title

and shapes using the negative from the Silhouette or punch,

banners, and stitching on my sewing machine...

I think I got a little carried away with the stitching on this layout

but it is such a great way to finish off the edge or combine

two elements to me, I can't help myself!

Used them all here! Yay!
