First up—my favorite this month. I finally hopped on the speech bubble bandwagon.

Last month I dusted off my colored pencils and this month embossing powder made an appearance. I used black embossing powder on the ampersand stamp in the layout below. It's an older stamp from Studio Calico. It came with a set of numbers that I still love, but don't use very often.

I love the photo in this one despite the crazy windswept hair. If Lucas wasn't such a strong, rugged, heavy little boy, he could have blown over that day. I handcut the clouds to go with the America Crafts Dear Lizzy printed vellum included in the kit.

 I used white embossing powder with the Elle's Studio stamp below.
