Time to celebrate......

From time to time, I like to take out the old photos of my kids and give them a new look.
This time, I make a layout with Clare's baby picture and I am entering this for the challenge at 
July challenge is kraft cardstock (of course)
plus
Fabrics


plus 
Stitching......


I actually started with lots of zig-zac stitching with the kraft cardstock base, but as I layered things all over, it covered up all the "hardwork", LOL! Or I should say, I changed my mind along the way and decided to go this direction????


anyway, no point talking about "the original" idea now.....  : (

    Very sweet page, Kirsty! Love the fabric bits, especially that banner, and love how you used the Webster's die cut paper. Those little kiddos popping up from the bingo card are adorable, too.
