MDS Kaven - PP#32 Anything Goes

Today's post is for the Paper Players challenge Anything Goes #32. The design team created the most beautiful inspirations using some of the sets from the New Occasions Mini, but since I'm still waiting for my SAB box to arrive on my porch this week, currently I don't have any of these new sets.

I still wanted to play in the challenge, so fortunately for me it's "anything goes", therefore I am submitting my second attempt at using my new MDS.

This is a single page layout I used to make a page for a co-worker. The page showcases his new baby Kaven. He sent the photo via email to several  people at work. Here is the original photo. Isn't he adorable?

I took the photo and made a cute page (I think) of his little guy using the MDS Jolly Holidays DSP - which I think is so versatile for more than just the holiday. Here is my page. I used the green background then cut a photo frame and angled it, then filled with cherry cobbler DSP. I thought it added interest  at an angle since I only had one photo to work with. I matted the photo in coordinating green CS then layered 3 rows of seam binding ribbon. Then I added a bow that is topped with a large pearl center.

 Even after I added all the sentiments, scrolling motif and his name it seemed lacking something. I only had the one photo, so I cropped his little face with that big smile. Then I added the circle punch and filled it with the cropped photo. I then matted that in a red CS and added a final sentiment "Fairy Tales really do come true"... which I felt was the perfect choice.

I printed this on photo paper and gave it to my co-worker.... it is now in a frame on his desk! Guess he really did like, and I hope you like it too!
