March

	I framed the portrait of Gabriel and I by cutting a 6x8 inch rectangle out of my background paper. I distressed the edges before stitching it to the cardstock then embellished all around.

	I used the charming photo and stamp of children to accent the photo of my son and enhance the quote I chose for this layout: "Children are the bright small face of hope."

	I had so much fun making this whimsical layout. I made a sun from a milk cap and used embroidery floss to stitch the rays coming out of it. The title was placed on an endstrip I saved off one of the pieces of patterned paper. I just couldn't throw away that adorable mommy and baby bird that was on it.

	The beaded wired was so unique. I love the look I created with it and the butterflies.
