Daughters are flowers that are forever in bloom.

Happy Friday! Today is extra special for me because it's my first post as a member of the Lily Bee design team. And we wanted to make it a fun Friday for you by doing a blog hop to introduce the new team.

This week, the design team has been mixing and matching different collections - "Persnickety", "Autumn Spice" and  "Christmas Cheer". In the spirit of carrying on with that theme, I created this layout of my youngest daughter. She definitely has 3 year old sass but she got the sweetest heart and I see her growing and blooming every day!
 
Supplies: Lily Bee Design - Persnickety Collection: ritzy 12x12 paper, huffy 12x12 paper, Index Journaling cards, Mixed Stickers, ABC Stickers; Christmas Cheer collection - Mrs. Claus 12x12 paper, ABC Stickers; Autumn Spice collection - Spice vanilla 12x12 paper, Spice clove 12x12 paper, Spice nutmeg 12x12 paper, 6x6 Tiny Tablet, Mixed Stickers, Clear Stamps; My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose Hatty "Happy" Decorative Brads, Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro Adhesive. Photos by Allison Avenue Photography.

I used my CAMEO to cut the sunflowers that are sprinkled throughout the layout in the visual triangle. I also used a journaling card in place of a photo, added the "i simply enjoy you" sticker, stamped 2012 and "DOCUMENTED" from the Lily Bee stamp set and then stitched over the entire card.


 
Journaling: I opted to use a quote instead of journaling on the front. I added a journaled note on the back to let her know what I think about the little lady she is becoming.




Heather Leopard <---YOU ARE HERE and halfway through the hop!


Nicole Nowosad, Danielle Flanders and Anna-Maria Wolniak are also a part of this amazing team but are not participating in the hop today.

Congrats on your first post for the Lily Bee Design Team! It's a great one of your darling daughter. Can that she will bloom forever. Your color choices of these fabulous three collections are very cheery and the sunflowers embellish it nicely. The fence along the bottom and stitching are great details, Heather.
