When I was browsing through the new Prima papers at my LSS, I had already imagined this layout in my mind. That's what I try to do these days to ensure that I buy papers that I am sure I will use to cut down wastage and save some $$$ here and there. But with the little amount I saved on papers, I spent more than 3 times of that on the new Prima arrivals!!! Has anyone seen their new range of flowers, vines, felt gates, iron-ons, pebbles, stamps and crystal swirls??? I could hardly breath as I drove down to the LSS to ensure that I get my hands on these arrivals before they ran out. After 2 weeks, my drawer was over flowing with Prima flowers!

This photo of Adah was taken 2 years ago by a friend in Shanghai. It was mid-autumn festival and the weather was still pretty warm then, so we managed to get some good outdoor shots around our compound. She still had some baby fats around her face then...

Anyhow, I enjoyed the distressing for the frame around her photo. I also used some Versamagic chalk ink for the frame. I always like the dreamy feel that this chalk ink gives...For the remaining areas around the frame, I added cut-outs from the paper and rub-ons. The rub-ons are really yummy but they seem to break a tad too easily. Then I added the vine and flowers and swirls. I like fabric flowers cos I think they tend to soften the look of the layout, so yummy...
