Lost is a page dedicated to D's first lost tooth. She lost it on her second day at her new school. It was a wonderful thing because she got one of those cool mini treasure boxes. (I've always wanted one of those...)
I took that wooden flower and used it as a mask for the painted flower on the right. Then I used that same flower (now pink) on the left. Lots of doodling here.
The next layout (B-gurl) is of my sister. She took this picture of herself in the car. Isn't she just the coolest thang?
Lots of cutwork on this layout. The title letters were a little too yellow for the design so I darkened them using black soot distress ink. The butterfly is 3D. I glued down the body and folded up the wings.
Do You Know is a whimsical layout of E when she was a little thing. (Because at 2 she's so much bigger, you know.)
I think that the poem in my journaling is really beautiful.
"Do you know what it is to be a child? It is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief. It is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear. It is to turn pumpkinss into coaches and mice into horses, lowliness into loftiness and nothing into everything." Frances Thompson
Here's a close-up of my tree that morphed into a flower later.
It was a lot of fun working with the DT at Scrapmuse. They are a great group of talented women!

Love that whimsical layout of E, Beth!! The stitching and artistic journaling look fabulous!!
I am so glad you joined us this month!! Great job with the kit! :)
I love the way on your "lost" LO that you used the flower as both a stencil and an embellishment...also love the pleated ribbon :).
Your "b-gurl" LO looks like it took a ton of time...great layering!
But, my fave is your last LO :) The tree/flower is darling and the poem is beautiful.
You sure have been filling your time with lots of guest positions--good for you! :)
