Layout Of The Week August 2, 2012***Barbara Lockridge***

A star fell
From the clear blue sky
As the rest of the world
Watched it go by
And with that star
Came a gift
Which can only be
Heaven-sent
A beautiful angel
With eyes of brown
Who turned our world
Up-side-down
Her laughter makes
The darkest day bright
I sit and watch
Her sleep at night
So peaceful and calm
Not a care in the world
A heaven-sent angel
Our baby girl

This week we bring to you a gorgeous art piece from Barbabra. Now besides our beautiful kits, we also have our special order section. And on this layout, Barbara shows us how beautiful some of those special orders blend with our kits. Who doesn't love Dusty Attic!! The piece that Barbara used is a favorite among many of us. A little touch of paint, spray or stain is all that it needs to bring it to it's glory. She used green and silver smooch to achieve the beautiful finish. Some of the flowers are Dusty Attic Flowers from a recent special order Krissy had. They are beautiful!! And then there are pieces that you see and just have to have because the user used it to perfection. On this layout it is the We R Memory Keepers Fancy Scroll Lucky 8 punch. Adding the liquid pearls is just one way to make the piece so elegant!! It is amazing how both die cut papers on this layout were done with the same punch..Now it is a must have after seeing this layout. Swirly Girlies are such enablers!!! Barbara had planned of giving this layout to her son, but decided to keep it instead and display it in a shadow box. We would love to see that!!! Great job on this beautiful layout Barbara!! We love it. And dont forget to visit Barbara's Blog for more inspiration.
