Directions: 

Cut 1cm off of the top and 1cm off of the left side of your Pretty Girl paper then chalk the edges and glue it onto the back of the Playtime paper. From the Vintage Prams Paper cut a strip measuring 3.5 x 29cm, another strip 2.5 x 14cm and then (using the dot side) another piece 21 x 11cm.

From your ABC Blocks paper (using the chevrons at the back) cut a heart shape mine measures 15cm across and 19cm down.

From your second Playtime paper cut a small strip 2cm x 29 and scallop one of the edges using scallop scissors or a punch. From the same paper cut  pieces measuring  5 x 12.5cm , 3 x 11cm and lastly a piece 2 x 13cm. Scallop one of the edges of the 2 x 13cm piece.

Chalk all of the above pieces.

Begin by adhering the Vintage Pram strip (3.5 x 29cm) across the layout approx. 7 cm from the top of the page, slip the small scalloped strip (2x29cm) from the Playtime paper above and behind it.

Next glue down the Vintage Pram piece (21 x 11cm) I used the dots on the back of the paper about 3cm from the left of the page and overlapping slightly the Vintage pram strip. Tuck the 5 x 12.5cm piece from the Playtime paper and the 2.5 x 14cm piece from the Vintage Prams paper beneath the 21 x 11cm Vintage Pram piece before you glue it down.

Glue down your lace/trim running across the middle of the layout.

Using a little foam tape glue down the heart and then mat your photo and glue it down on top of and slightly to the right of the heart.

Chalk and emboss your title piece, I chalked mine in brown and then added a little pink embossing powder over it. Glue your title to the right of your photo.

Add your flower or other embellishments of your choice to the left of the heart/photo.

To the bottom right of the layout glue down the remaining Playtime strips (3x11cm) and then over that glue down the 2 x 13cm scalloped piece. Add one of the die cuts from the Carders pack (I used the elephant and glued it to the corresponding chipboard piece) to the middle of these strips, tie a bow at the top of the die cut then add your flower and buttons to complete the layout.

Happy Crafting everyone!
