I love this picture of my nephew when he was a baby - couldn't you just eat him up! I used a border sticker from the LYB Poppy line for my ribbon treatment on the bottom right corner. I gathered the polka dot ribbon and adhered it to the sticker. I used the new Xyron High Tack Tape to adhere the Chevron Stripe ribbon above it. I had not noticed the checked ribbon I used beside my picture, until a sample came - and let me tell you -this is one of my new favorite ribbons. I'll be adding some of those to my ribbon stash!
Another one of my favorite Xyron tricks is making my own dimensional adhesives. I go through this stuff, so having an economical way to make my own has saved me so much money. If you haven't tried this, all you have to do is buy a sheet of craft foam at your local craft store, and run it through your Creatopia or Creative Station Machine, and put permanent adhesive on both sides. I used my DIY foam adhesives to layer the die cut flowers.
So here are all of the details that you need to know:
May Arts Ribbons:
Xyron
Little Yellow Bicycle
Other:
Words or Whatever Chipboard, Mask
Clearsnap Ink

Darling layout and your nephew is adorable.
Beautiful layout!
Just gorgeous! Love all the details!
I love your idea about buying the foam, running it through the Xyron and using it for the dimension of your flowers. I am all in for anything that would save money on embellishments.
Beautiful layout.
Cute photo and great embellishments.
I am a ribbon collector and love all the ribbons you used on your layout and the different ways you used them with all the other elements! Great layout and cute nephew!
what an adorable nephew and an amazing frame to that sweet face. I love those poppys
YES! To answer your question you could eat him up, he's adorable and how can you not spoil him!~! Love your layout, Mommy must love it too. I really like how you've framed him. So cute.
Great layout. I never thought about using ribbon on my pages. Looks wonderful!

Can you say adorable...you showcased this little guy beautifully in your LO. Thanks for the craft foam tip...brilliant.
Very cute! Love all your product choices.
Love this layout.. Your ruffled ribbon is so cute (as is your nephew) . Love all the little details from the doily behind the picture to the small one with all the embellishments. Great job.
Your color scheme looks really great. I love the earthy tones.
Gorgeous layout! The backgrounds effect is so pretty and makes the colors leap off the page at you!
Beautiful layout. Beautiful child. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful layout. I love the background. And he is so adorable. Great pic to choose.
OK. I'll admit it. What got me was the baby. Your nephew was such a darling baby. But that's not a bad thing that I noticed the baby first. That is the way it is supposed to be in my opinion. The photo is the focus but the decoration frames and enhances the setting of the photo. That is just what you did here. Well done.
Darling layout.
Just love when otherwise feminine things are made to look masculine or unisex. Sweet layout, just loving all the bright vibrant ribbon. I am just a sucker for gingham, checks, stripes or chevrons. Thanks for sharing.
What a wonderful layout...love that black frame around the photo!
Simply a beautiful layout. Loving the doily and die cut frame1
