Neglect-O-Matic

This is a tongue-in-cheek layout about baby swings.  We weren't going to buy one (because we were in a one bedroom apartment at the time) but when one was given to us we fell in love!

Serenity loved it, we loved it and cousin Mark called it the Neglect-O-Matic (which I think is hilarious)!
I had two pieces of this patterned paper so I cut out the flowers and enhanced them with buttons, brads, liquid pearls, a paper crimper and a white pen and then pop dotted them on the page.
However, not all babies love the swing. I have a friend who called hers the Poop Machine because every time her daughter went in for a swing she pooped! LOL

Cute layout, love the flowers! We got a baby swing later than we should have... dd#1 who cried all the time as a newborn, LOVED her swing when we finally got one around 2 1/2 months!

I don't think I would have survived with out the swing for my DS. But we never even set it up for DD. Funny how two babies in one family can be so different. It was a life saver when we needed it though!

Love what you did with all the popped flowers - they look fantastic.

Serenity looks seriously blissed out. I like how you used the buttons, brads and liquid pearls. The paper crimper really made the bliss tag stand out.

Too funny! I love the flowers too, they look fantastic! We have never had a swing, but I've always heard people rave about them. I think some babies can ONLY sleep in their swing!

First, thank you to everyone who wished me a Happy "39th" - you sure are staying young Carrie!

Second, Perfect name for how Serenity looks in this swing. I also love Mark's name for it. Your pretty buttons look like they are pointing to Serenity. Looks like it must have been a fun page to create.
Love, Mum
