I couldn't wait to combine the new Lil Davis Little One Collection with photos of my new grandson Greyson Thomas!  I knew i wanted to make the Scalloped Paper the base, and build from there. I like that i can use the Fiskars tools to make my own custom embellishments that fill in just the spaces i want filled on my layouts, and the embellishments are so inexpensive!
