With all the formalities taken care of, here's a look at my scrapbook page created for this milestone event,

"So Pretty"

So pretty, indeed!

I've gone for some monochromatic magic with this stunning layout!

Altenew Supplies Featured: Crafty Talk Decal Set - Small, Rose Petal Washi Tape Set, Fine Frames Diamonds Die Set, Build-A-Flower: Canterbury Bells Die Set, Watercolor 36 Pan Set, & Live Your Dream Puffy Alphabet Stickers.

Let's take a closer look at this mixed media delight!

Ga ga gor-jus!!!

Such a pretty page for my darling girl!

How divine are those floral decals?! I've backed them onto some white paper & fussy cut them out to adorn my photo with!

The brand new Rose Petal Washi Tape totally dictated my color scheme & looks amazing partnered with the Fine Frames Diamond Die Set, and the B-A-F Canterbury Bells Die Set too!

Please watch how I created this scrapbook page (including that delicious berry background) in my short process video below:
