Here is my project for the March blog hop!


 


I went with my friend Angie on this photo shoot of her and
her son Colten. I put their outfits together for the occasion. I really wanted
to reflect the spring weather! I love love the bright colors! I actually took
this photo with my iPhone then instagramed it! This photo is great but you should
see the images photographer Jane Del Vecho took, they are priceless! {If you
are local here in the so cal area and interested in Jane’s work, just shoot me
an email amadd78@gmail.com and I will
get you her contact info!}
When I got home that evening I scrapped this page. I
used the me & you, you & me file and doily lace file I was planning to use it for
something else and already had it cut.  I
decided to use it as a mask, and love how it ties the page together!

instalove: origrami

Welcome
to Paper Issues “instalove”


You should have arrived here from Cassie's blog


 


 If
this is your first stop, be sure to head over to 


Paper Issues to
start at the beginning!


 


I cannot even tell you how much I love these photos! I LOVE
that they are printed to look like a Polaroid. Origrami prints them on a really
thick cover stock, and the best part is if you geo tagged your photo when you instagramed
it, they print a map on the back. It also includes, the date and how many likes
the photo received. And don’t forget free shipping! Which helps a lot since
they come from Australia! I have ordered 3 times from them and it took roughly
a week for them to arrive! Oh did I mention the cute little box they come in? Well
they also come in this super cute box!
