Waiting to meet you

I had so much fun creating this page!  With two little boys, i am sure I will be creating many layouts with blues, greens, yellows and neutral colours. I took this opportunity to make this page very girly with plenty of pinks, pretty patterns, flowers, pearls and swirls.

I used the Labels Collection Framelits dies to add to the girliness of the title.  The framelits dies comes in a set of 6 layering dies which means your creative possibilities are endless!
  

I used Stampin' Up's Very Vintage jumbo wheel stamp. Until now, I had been inking up with an ink pad, which meant I was limited to stamping only the circumference of the wheel before the ink started to fade. I recently purchased the ink cartridges which allowed me to create the border for my 12x12 page without re-inking!  

I used the VersaMark ink in the cartridge which gave a subtle watermark effect for the border. The Melon Mambo ink on the Melon Mambo cardstock gave a similiarly subtle and pretty effect.
