The best | Unforgettable collection | Raquel Bowman

Hey everyone, it’s Raquel here sharing a bit of a flashback to the Unforgettable collection with you today.

Here is the layout that I created:

The subject of my layout today is my ‘baby’ girl – who turned 9 earlier this month. I do not know how this is possible that I have a nine year old in my household. Boy time just flies doesn’t it?

I have not played with this collection in a while and had minimal supplies left. I was excited though to find a whole pack of ephemera so I was able to add and embellish as much as I wanted with no limitations to my floral choices. To frame my photo I used one of my fave script prints in this collection and added tags and circular frames from the ephemera collection. I add a crochet thread to the tags to tie a bow- this thread is subtle and thin and adds a cute touch to the page.

I used a variety of floral pieces to embellish to either side of the photo. Using differing foam adhesive tapes create a dimensional effect – I did this in the clusters to either side.

The title of the page is from foam stickers. What better sentiment than this. I’m sure my Charlotte will agree! I think we counted down to her birthday for an odd 30 days. The level of excitement was high.

To journal as always I have added my typewritten strips to document this moment and milestone.

To finish the page I have framed it on the gorgeous signature floral paper of the collection and machine stitched the edge. I also added those final finishing touches of a scattering of enamel dots.

I can hardly believe I am documenting this moment of my baby girls life!
Thank you so much for stopping by the CVS blog today. I hope you are well and safe in this crazy work we live in currently
Take care, xxx
