Happy Wednesday and A Treat

Hello all how are you doing this afternoon? I've tried to post about 3 times today but we are having computer issues @ work.. I have been working on this layout for a few days now but I finally finished last night. I got my inspiration from Kelly Foster's Sweet Sisters layout over @ Scrapbook.com. She was kind enough to let me lift it. You can see it here :

And here's the link to her gallery:

I loved the overall design, like the border punching and the way she grouped her pictures. I also love how she matted them. These pictures are so sweet. Annnnd I also love how she painted the edges.

Here's my take on the layout:

I mimicked the borders with a border punch and the pictures. I used circle grid template from Crafter's Workshop and hot pink acrylic paint however it looks like a pale pink from the scan. Soooo much better in real life. I distressed and inked the edges. I used the Martha Stewart confetti heart punch. I wanted to try something different. It's pretty cool. I love the Fiskar's heart punch (That's Amore), it's sooo cute. I stitched around them to add some texture. 

Thanks for looking.
