Initially Difficult to Start....

A little play on words there in the title to describe the project I made for my cousin Beth who had her first baby on January First. Congrats Beth and Patrick! I decided to make an initial for little Linnea's room but had a hard time getting going but once I did the glitter, ink, and glue was flying! The finished product:

I made a "lollipop" from stacking lace, a scallop circle, a felt flower, and the letter L. It was important because Amory can't say Linnea and the only word she could could come with for the baby was lollipop. The yellow and pink chipboard pieces are from Imaginice and the rest is unknown becuase it is from my stash. Which brings me to the next thing I wanted to mention.
