Tips & tricks | Suse Fish

I know I say this *every* single month, but these kits... 'adore' doesn't come close. And this one, I have to say, is so very 'me' that it hurt more than a little to cut into it!

My little tip today is for those times when you love a collection so much that you can't decide which papers to use. So why not use a little bit of all of them? For this layout, I made some cute little bows using my very favourite prints from January's 'Susie' kit.



I printed out a bow template that I found online, then loosely pasted the print-out to the papers (non-permanent spray mount works even better as it peels off so nicely). I then popped a scrapbooking podcast on and spent a happy half hour snipping each piece out!

Here's how your pieces look before assembling them...



... and here's how scrumptious these little cuties look once they're made. I used double-sided tape to stick mine together.



I was going to make a bunting-style banner from them, but when it came to it, there were so many more beautiful pieces from my kit that I just had to add to my page, that I decided a simpler row of bows might work better.



I'm so thrilled with how pretty this page about my little one and only girl is - it's perfectly 'her' (and pretty much completely 'me' too!)
