Project one with Jing Jing...

How do you get started on a scrapbook page? Do you start with products first and find matching photos? Or, do you begin with products that you love and find photos that would work with the products?  Well, I do both. In this particular case, I fell in love with the Lollidots paper and it was a struggle for me to cut into it. I played around with the whole sheet for several days before I finally got out the scissors. 
 
I also am not a print-photo-as-I-scrap type of gal. I have hundreds of photos printed and waiting for me to scrap.  In this particular layout, I would have preferred more than photos so I could trim the photos to line up with the existing lines on the paper, but I'm a firm believer in good-enough, so I used the three photos I had and created this layout. 
 
I used a piece of label paper and traced the shape onto Flutter Flight, and hand-stitched it onto the layout and then journaled.  I also think the birthday girl sticker sheet's "...and many more!" describes our family's raspberries consumption quite accurately, so I added that in there for accent as well.
