Nursing Mother layout

Here is a very personal and beloved layout of my smiling baby nursing.


A mix of card stacks and papers from DCWV, AC, K & Company, and Cosmo Cricket; Michaels pigment inks, Buttons and craft wire, Recollections mini brads, Scotch dot roller, Super Stik permanent glue stick, Zig Millenium pens.


I made these flowers with my new EK Success circle cutter. Cut, inked edges, crinkled up, center punched with a tiny hole, then stacked under a custom button brad.
