Layout - Nina {9 months}




At 9 months, Nina is such a cutie pie. Nina is my friend, Beth's daughter - she was born here in Malaysia and they have since left for Atlanta, US. Beth's son Ian is also very photogenic and Sean and Ian spent quite a few afternoons together playing. I was very glad for the company.

This is another of my old layouts back in 2005 and I did it with vellum paper. To highlight the daisies in the vellum paper, I decided sew them so they seem to pop out from the page. I am always lazy to journal and hence, I used my old trusty DYMO to puch out the lettering. To enhance the layout, I decided to use some scrap fabrics that I bought from Japan, tore them into strips and tied them at the sides where I have made with eyelets.
I decided to tone the colours down by inking the sides of the paper. Lastly, I added a tag and a little flower to complement the little flowers in the vellum paper.
These series of photographs are taken by Sarah Grasset if anyone is interested. Sarah takes beautiful photos of all our kids. Please do send her an email if you are interested.
