This layout is part of a book I am doing for my daughter who spent some time in sick kids after a really bad arm break. The paper, ribbon and ribbon slider are all from "Close to My Heart", The bling and buttons are from my local Craft store.

Sick Kids Layout #2

This layout was done with products all from Close to My Heart!

Felicity Collection paper, twilight ribbon, twinkle brads  and paper flowers.

I used the recipe for glimmer paint using CTMH create-a-shade paint and re-inker mixed with alcohol to spray the word "ouch" the shimmery shade of red.

Sick Kids Layout #1

I love the modern layouts where one area is very busy, but I just can't leave the card stock blank it feels unfinished.  So I used a cuttlebug embossing folder with my marble rolling pin on my card stock, 12 x12 card stock does not fit in the cuttle but or sizzix (I am still using my old red origional sizzix and it works like a charm with everything!) so I just put my emblossing folder over the paper and roll it with my marble rolling pin!  I have a couple of roses I made from off white satin ribbon, paper/card stock (The Felicity Collection), paper flowers and glitter brads from Close to My Heart and the butter flies are made with a new embossing die by sizzix for Sampin UP.

This is my daugter having her arm assessed by the on Call "Ortho" doctor at our local hospital, before our adventure at Sick Kids Hospital Begins!
