My background is a bubble gum pink textured piece of 12x12 scrapbook paper. I took a coordinating sheet of printed scrapbooking paper and tore a section off of it on the diagonal. I then chalked the torn edge in a dark bubble gum pink and glued the piece of paper down the right side of my layout. I then chalked 2 hearts onto the printed section along the right edge as I wanted those hearts to signify the love between mother and child.
I double matted a 4x6 photo first onto yellow cardstock (leaving an 1/8" border) and then onto dark bubblegum pink cardstock (leaving a 1/4" border) and mounted that on the layout but not in the center, more off-center and to the right. I cut eight squares from peach colored scrapbooking paper and each square measures 2 1/2". I used my Cricut machine on the #1 size setting and cut the MOMMY & ME letters from dark bubble gum pink paper. I then applied adhesive and stuck the letters onto each square. I wanted to soften the edges of my letter tiles so I chalked the edges of each square with dark pink chalk and then glued them onto the page near the bottom.
To finish up my layout...I had a word sticker that said THE GIRLS on it which I matted it on peach scrapbooking paper and dark bubble gum pink scrapbooking paper and trimmed the mats so that they only had an 1/8" edge around them. I then used foam adhesive dots and stuck it onto the layout...over-lapping the left edge of the photo. I had some floral print paper which I cut out the flower that you see on the layout and matted that onto peach scrapbooking paper and hand-trimmed it so that only an 1/8" border remained. I used adhesive foam dots and stuck that in the left corner of the photo. I then used a glue dot and stuck a dark pink shiny gem into the center of the flower.
This scrapbooking layout is simple to do...but it is a little time consuming. I spent almost a full hour making it but I do like it's uncluttered look.
