make it {MY} style #7 reveals

Wow, I can't believe it's been a week already since I posted my inspiring original #7.  Time really flies, especially when you're busy with your daily life.  Kaori's LOs are hard to scraplift as her style is just too unique.  But the way she manipulates the pictures and the embellies inspires me a lot, which is the true essence of this make it {MY} style project - learning from an inspiring LO, changing it a bit or a lot to make it my own LO.

After I've finished mine, I am amazed by how the choice of colour can change everything.  Kaori's LO is soft and peaceful.  Both Sassafras and Cosmo Cricket were used on mine, and you can imagine how colourful my LO will look like.

Without any delay, here is my take on it ~~

Little Fingers

Supplies used: Patterned paper: Bloomers Paper (green background paper, flowery border-punched paper & flowery paper ribbon) from Garden Variety/Material Girl Double Deck (Cosmo Cricket); Amplify Paper Pad (all circles) and Monstrosity Paper Pad (picture mat) (Sassafras Lass).  Embellishments: Cut-outs from Garden Variety Element Paper (Cosmo Cricket); Garden Variety Ready Set Chip (Cosmo Cricket); buttons, ribbon & glittered foam letters.

Initially I didn't mean to do such a playful and colourful LO.  But as I was playing with the paper, especially with the circles, things added up by themselves.  If I didn't tell, no one would say this LO was inspired by Kaori's real, righ?  :) :)  I kept the arrangement of the pictures though.  This is what I love about this LO.  Here is another look of it ~~

Don't you just love those tiny fingers?  Abby was playing with the wooden clock, and I was playing with my camera.  She was so absorbed by those blocks.  Using fingers skillfully is a BIG milestone in a baby's development.  I treasure these pictures.

I made a little paper ribbon at the bottom.  They look perfect with the green background.

It was my first time to do the "mix & match" thing - mixing different brands together ... out of my comfort zone.  I think I'm doing well on this one. :)  Cut-out from the pattered paper is my no. 1 favourite embellishment, such as this little bee from the Garden Variety Element Paper and the flower from the Amplify Paper ~~

The last, but not least, is the glittered foam letters.  I found them in a dollar store, cute, huh?

My Abby will be one year old on next Monday while her wild brother, Charles, will be 4 on Sunday.  Can't believe he's FOUR already.  B-day Party at the school on Friday, and a BBQ Party for friends and family on Saturday.  My week is FULLY PACKED!!!!!  Goody bags, cake, meat, veggie, drink ...  Thank GOD that we have emails nowadays, which saves me from tons of time.

That's all from me today.  I'll share another LO I did over the weekend and some cute pictures from the beach in my next post.

hugs,
