More exciting news :)

If you missed my exciting news this week, see THIS POST before this to meet our baby girl :) She arrived July 2nd and I've been overwhelmed with the generosity of our friends and family. I have LOTS of thank you notes to write. Enter Scrappy Mom Stamps :)

I am so excited to be the guest designer this month! They released a favorite (and I have a bunch!) set to date called Lean on Me. I am in LOVE with these sentiments and fonts:

They also are releasing an AWESOME die set this month: Chevron and Rick Rack:

I used the dies and one of the awesome encouraging sentiments on 2 thank you cards:

Our nursery is owls so you know you'll be seeing a lot of this cut from Create a Critter ;)

The papers are MME The Sweetest Thing Stack ;) These came together so fast and easy (I need a BUNCH!) and the sentiment makes it so personal.

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing MORE news with me ;) Head over to the Scrappy Moms blog to see what the rest of the design team created with this set and place an order for your own.  Stay tuned next week for more projects made with this month's release!!

Introducing Baby M :)

Where have I been the past few weeks? Doing a lot of this:

We brought baby girl M home on the fourth of July and motherhood has been everything I thought it could be and so much more. I am taking LOTS of pictures and plan on keeping up with Project Life for our family album. I also want to make special, traditional layouts for my daughter's scrapbook. I stole some nap time/craft time the past few days and made her first page.

It's a photo my husband requested - the 3 women who changed his life forever. Me, our daughter, and our birthmom. A picture I will cherish, through the blessing of open adoption our daughter will too.

All patterned papers are from Bo Bunny's "Isabella" collection. I am entering in this month's challenge to use a banner. I created it on my computer, popped it up and added my letter stickers.

The doily patterned paper with the part of the title pulls out to reveal hidden, personal journaling of how much this lil girl means to both of us.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing our joy! :)
