Challenge 2 of Lets get shabby - Little Princesses scrapbook layout

I've decided to enter the Lets get Shabby challenge of floral and gingham! After seeing what the DT members have come up with - wow!!!! but still thought I'd have a go anyway ! !

The 3 girlies are our grandkids, Elie Mae, Daisy and Heidi. The papers used are K&Co:- all the crowns were drawn and cut freehand (you can't beat cutting with scissors :O), the flowers on the crown are made from lovehearts (of different sizes from the Fiskars heart template), all inked and scrunched up for that slight shabby look. The lettering is from the Cricut using the Story book cartridge and instead of using the letters I used the card from which the letters were cut (thought this was a little different). Some gingham ribbon was threaded through a piece of scalloped card (again cut with scissors), and some pearls and butterflies completed the page.
And this is it.

Unfortunately or Fortunately for me I have removed this photograph for potential publication.
