Using really old scrapbook paper

Basic Grey and it pains me they
are no longer in business.
I was a big fan.
Loved all their papers and have quite the collection.
 My friend Holli's daughter had a baby and of course
I crocheted a blanket and made a baby album
among other things for her shower and of course I took
photos of one but not the other.....
 Holli graciously took a photo of Kayli wrapped in my 
blanket and I decided to scrap it and it
needed this paper from the LilyKate collection was perfect.
I really wanted something soft and pretty to meld with the photo.
The K&Co embellishments have been around forever too.
Add it with a doily, a die cut border with word stickers and pretty flowers from
Spare Parts 
and well....Love the page.
 I also kept the invitation because the baby album I made (see here)
was keyed off the invitation and of course the shaker box heart.
Therefore I attached the invite to the back of the page
added the journaling (because I really didn't want it on the front)
and called it a day.
