I can't remember when the photograph for this layout was taken - certainly more than eight years ago. Naomi had espied my homemade chocolate cakes, and as a special treat for all the children, they were allowed one each. The cakes didn't last long at all.
The papers are all from DoCrafts "Tea House" Collection - perfect for this project! Many of the embellishments are also from this collection - though the "Sweet" wording was found in the discount basket at Pickwells. The layout is basically a scraplift from one of Dawn Inskip's designs... "Cheesy".
Dawn does digital layouts, and to look at her creations is to almost feel them - although digital they look amazingly tactile. I am quite in awe of her talent. Though I have no idea how to digi-scrapbook, I do like to see if I can loosely fit her designs into a normal 12x12 layout... and this is one attempt. I'll not put Dawns layout here to compare... hers wins hands down!
Anyways...
I had finished the layout, but felt something was missing. I just had to find a place for stitching on the layout - my papers feel naked without a bit of thread.
A few punched flowers and a bit of ribbon, and it was all finished!
Quickest layout I've ever done.

Lovely layout Sheleen. The colours are perfect for the photo but what's going on,none of your beautiful handmade flowers?
What a super photo for scrapping - lovely LO
Toni :o)
Yes! You do need stitching of some sort on a layout. I feel the same. When I was trying to scrap quickly to 'get things done', I didn't love them as much because I hadn't stitched on them somewhere! lol. I love how you threaded ribbon through your bunting and the pretty way you framed your photograph - love that photo!
Paper and stitching will always win hands down in my book! I have no idea about digi scrapping and I think anyone who can do it is very clever, but I like to be able to reach out and touch those dimensional details you do so well
I love it a really fab girly LO just makes you think of pastel frosted cupcakes :)
I agree with Sian I am amazed by some of the digital LO's I see they are amazing but I prefer to get inky and messy doing paper ones :)
