My youngest daughter is my scrappy chic - not because she
loves to scrap, not because she likes to fight but because she - her
personality is so scrappy...she just throws together these outfits
which I usually cringe at but then think
"Hey it's her style, if she feels good in it then I will leave her alone."
My hubbs when he takes notice of such outfits, says
"Who let her out of the trailer..." {lol}
anyway there is a point behind that story...and that
is the scrapbook page that I created this week of her
9th birthday celebration(s)
I used the back of my older daughters bday layout and so I had to use
pink as my background and found this cool strip of orange &
green flowered paper (doesn't match) and some funky flower
embellishments by basic grey and some heart doilies - at first it seemed
really busy but then after I added the colorful alphabet - it just
blended so well and reminded me of one of her
GROOVY OUTFITS...
I tried my hand at making one of those cool banner type flags with
paper and a toothpick and gotta tell you love the way it looks and
they are beyond easy - I can see these on so many other projects.
I am seriously in love with this layout - it is SO her.
How are your scrapbook layouts going?
I need to find one of those cool blog tickers that keep count of my pages....
got any ideas?
I am linking my page up to the following

Love it! And also love the fact that you're letting your girl develop her style. And those doilies and flag are too cute! (Did you tune into Stephanie Howell's post on doilies yesterday?)
Great job using the toothpick! Gotta try that myself! I know how you feel with the fashion....it's such a challenge to help them be modest and yet try original creations, too. Gotta love little girls!
great scrapbook page i found your site via crafty soiree
