Just a short post, today's layout

Now seeing as I got those new goodies the other day I wanted to use abit of my new stash on this layout of Drew, I've used one of  the flower notecards and cut out the image, my journalling slides up held up by a piece of acetate, then I have enclosed a little mini envelope which I have used distress inks and just a touch of crackle paint over it to give it abit of rustic feel at the bottom this hold's his first lock of hair.....
I've also used a piece from a doily and two of the new laces that I got....
My title says Sweet Sweet boy of mine, I just noticed that my one side of my bow covers the end of my title....
Hope your all having a great night has anyone scrapped anything today?

Back again thought I would just add to this post instead of starting another new one, thanks Lou I didn't realize I had won at Badgirls for the inspiration layout so thanks for mentioning it to me this morning.http://wendyrago.typepad.com/bad_girls/
