Smooch a Sweet Layout

Hi - Jean Okimoto here - sharing a sweet, Smooched baby layout in bright pastels.  Design Adhesives are perfect for embossing - and the Fly Away birds are joyfully announcing the arrival of Addison Lynn.

Her Mom says Addison likes big girl colors - so I chose Pool, Sweet Melon, Kiwi and Sassy Pink Smooch Accent Inks for her layout.  A handful of bright, mismatched buttons adds a colorful touch and a bit of dimension to the simple design.
