Hello everyone,
Today I’m sharing my first inspiration for September, a layout that is especially close to my heart as it features my youngest granddaughter. These two sweet photos pair so beautifully with the “Little Dreamers Sugar” collection by 49 and Market.
To compliment them, I chose three chipboard pieces: the 11" Circular Leafy Frame to frame the photos with its lovely curves, the Large Berry Stem to tuck among the embellishments, and the Cuties Title, which fits this sweet theme perfectly.

I also filmed a process video to share how this layout came together.
The chipboard used:
Before embellishing my chipboard pieces, I applied a generous coat of white gesso and
used my heat tool to speed up the drying process.

On the left side of the photos, I tucked the Large Berry Stem among the floral and foliage die-cuts.
I embossed it with “Terra Cotta Plum” embossing powder by Lindy’s Gang. Its warm shade
picks up the tones in the photos and the little characters from the collection.

I love how the delicate branches peek out between the embellishments, complementing the
photos without covering them. The little elephant adds another sweet touch to this cluster.

The Cuties title was just perfect for these photos!
I placed it on the right, between the two pictures and just below the little animals.

I also used “Terra Cotta Plum” embossing powder to color the title. I applied two coats
for a more pronounced embossed effect. This finish highlights the lovely lettering and
ties in with the Large Berry Stem.

The 11" Circular Leafy Frame is a beautiful feature of my design. The circle frames both photos,
while its leaves and swirls extend across the upper part of the layout.For this piece, I used
“Chateau Rosé” embossing powder by Lindy’s Gang. Its soft pink shade and shimmer add
a lovely touch that coordinates with the papers. A few little birds and pink enamel dots nestle
around the curves.

I think these chipboard pieces and this collection complement each other perfectly.
I loved combining them to preserve these precious memories of my granddaughter.
