Cutie - New Layout

I was planning to play along with the August challenge over at Sketches4All which required the use of the Pagemaps sketch below.  I completed this layout and then realized that it was supposed to be a "Summertime" layout, whoops.  So instead I decided to play along with the Sketches4All Busy Scrappers August challenge - "Just Us Girls/Ladies".  So here is my girl layout:

This is little Maddie at 4 months. Hard to believe she was so small. 

Here is the sketch I used: 

I also played along with Colorful Creations's E challenge for August - to use layers and buttons. I used cardstock buttons from LYB and lots of layers including paper, ribbon, transparency, border punches, journaling blocks, chipboard, and stickers.

Here are a couple of close-ups:

Materials used: paper - LYB; chipboard stickers - LYB; tranparency - LYB; border punch - Stampin' Up; ribbon - unknown; fiber - unknown; cricut - George & Basic Shapes; journaling card - LYB; buttons - LYB; sticker - KI Memories
