Stuck?! Sketches DT Post - 1st April - Bloom

Welome back to my blog today where I'm sharing a DT page for
I loved this sketch and had the perfect photo for the heart theme.
The rich fuschia coloured paper is an older one from Basic Grey and I teamed with a small floral from Crate Paper.  I love the cut file by Just Nick.
The colours behind the roses were cut from paint chips.
The crystals are by Prima and the Pearls by Kaisercraft.
The strip of lace is from my Mother's stash.
A little peak of washi tape tucked in there too.
A couple of flowers from my stash, The pink and yellow one is by Prima. 

The journalling is on the back of the page.

This photo of your beautiful Mummy was taken at your Baby Shower, about eight weeks before you were born.  Your home looked lovely, decorated with flowers and streamers. Lots of friends and relatives gathered for a party to celebrate; they brought gifts and shared in the excitement of your coming birth.  Your Auntie, who planned the party, asked us all to bring our favourite little Golden Book, to start your library.  I hope you will delight in reading as much as your cousins do.  After a pregnancy which was challenging at times, the end was near and the day of your birth just over the horizon.  It was such a joy to see your Mummy's glowing face, her expanding tummy and be part of the celebration.  
Love Granny, November 2016

    Sure is the perfect photo Helen and what a wonderful memory to document. I LOVE your journalling as always and what a wonderful idea to bring a golden book (must remember that one ) I love the little touch of lace from your Mums stash, the perfect addition. The white heart contrast really houses your beautiful photo just right.
    Wishing you a wonderful Easter Helen

    Oh my gosh! What a great way to record a shower and the "mother's glow" that is so obvious without arrows pointing to the tummy. ;0 It is truly in the joy on the face and light in the eye that we see the real glow and this shows that so well. A true delight! Thank you! Hugs, Autumn
