My curls....

As I get older my hair just gets curlier and curlier - I am certain I  will end my days as a fully blown poodle!!  As a teenager I used to get my hair permed - now I wonder why the heck I needed to ??

SO I had fun with these old photos and this one is of me as a little girl and shows that I even had curls back then.  I am  seriously  loving the colours in the Carta Bella Alphabet Junction papers and they were  perfect for this photo!!

So for starters I used my favourite crafters workshop template - the spotty dotties and with my Tim HOltz distress ink Broken China

 I established a bit of interest  for my background.  I then used a serious of smaller cut sections of Alphabet Junction papers - the blue under the photo is the backside of Dear Little dots .  I have then cut a long strip of the pink spotted Handwriting - again using the B side.  I also had a small strip of the green Alphacards which I slipped in under the blue paper.



In the top right hand corner under where the photo would  sit I also used some of the reverse side Alphabet banner.  I also pleated a strip of the striped Delightful stripe and adhered across the pink paper for  additional burst of colour.


I am a HUGE lover of ricrac - its so versatile and easy to use....and Tracy has an awesome ramge - I have used some of the pretty pink ric rac but you could use any range of colours depending on the p colours in your photo!!



I then went to the coordinated sticker sheet and selected a range of stickers to add to my layout - I always love a  journal spot or two and I also liked  some of the coordinating strips so I have added a couple once I had adhered my photo.I also slipped in a pretty  small doily under the top left side of the photos and cut it and used the remainder at the bottom  right - I find it just  added a bit of softness and prettiness!!



Tracy  also has some wicked buttons and some gorgeous resin flowers so I had to  add a couple of those!!

 

As a last minute touch I couldnt resist Tracys gorgeous fairy  girl charms
Finally I have used the alphabet sticker sheet for my title using two different  fonts.



I also like to outline some of my papers when they have a white background just so they stand out a little more....I love  the little touches like this to finish a layout
What do you think??

I have found many codes that can delete the basic information module. All of them have worked but all of them have deleted my background.
