Arrival of Baby James

 Following on from my Patchwork page for baby James, this is the second one for his album, which I made at our February crop day (see previous post).

I used the same set of papers and based my layout on a pagemap.

The paper had a lovely embossed and thermographic glittered circle at the bottom so I used it as a feature on my layout. I cut around the image so the photographs which measure 3x4" fit under the edge. 

The left border was cut with a punch belonging to Lynn, thanks for the loan! :)

I cut a butterfly using a Marianne die twice and layered it up, 3 pearls were added to the body.

A strip of lace from my stash was added and topped with another new die from Memory box, the button strip, which I have stitched into place with some white embroidery thread.

I added a few random "buttons" too along with a few pearls.

A close-up of the lace.

Thanks for looking.
