boy U make my heart flutter

This is a picture of my 2nd son....so hard to believe he is 18 now! I decided to make this really fun so added a ton of butterflies...they are all cut from Indie Art using the shadow cut. I stickled and pearl painted them to add some personality. The flourish is from Home Accents and is stretched in DS. The papers are some plain card stock and all the patterned papers are from a stack by Me & My Big Ideas.

The font is cut from Winter Woodlands...the marquee mats are Storybook and both the scallop circle and rectangle are from A Child's Year.

I added some doodling to the plain blue heart and some pearl paint to the mat.

I have to thank Nanne for the heart cluster and for the lovely flower....she has an awesome tutorial on our new challenge blog...Stuck On U Sketches....check it out it was fun and easy to make...The flower is from Graphically speaking and I added some dark blue chalk and a little adhesive badge to the center. My leaves are cut from A Child's Year....and chalked in light blue.

The butterflies were cut 4x's in each color in 3 sizes....and then randomly spread throughout the page....I really enjoyed making this layout....so fun to remember when they were young....and my son looks so happy in the photo....thanx so much for stopping by....I love to read your comments...they mean a lot to me!
