Isn't She Wonderful Layout

Hey everyone,

Today I have a cute pink layout to share. These are pics of my new baby cousin.. so cute (but I had to blur them out sorry). 

I used mainly Imaginisce papers and some DCWV. The tag on the bottom has the Twinery Bakers Twine in blossom. I inked the edges of all the papers and pics with black ink. The tickets on top are a design I made myself in the Silhouette Design Studio, I also cut the heart and title with my Cameo. The title has pink Stickles on the "Wonderful" and a few down in the corners. I fussy cut some of the shapes (a small heart, bottle at the top and a little foot on the bottom left of the left pic) and they are all on pop dots. 

I am entering this layout into the following challenges:
DL.ART - #174 pink red and/or hearts (I used pink & hearts)
Simon Says - Monday challenge Inspired By A Song  (Isn't she Lovely - Stevie Wonder)
Clique Kits - Anything goes
Really Reasonable Ribbon - Celebrate (new baby)
More Than Words - Wonderful & Sparkle (Wonderful is part of my title and I used stickles a few
places + some of the embellishments are glittery)

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!

Harmony Rain Larsen!! (LOTS of pics!)

We have our 2nd little girl now :). Harmony Rain Larsen was born on September 13, 2011 at 8:16am. She was 6lbs 5oz and 19 1/8 inches long.

Fun fact: Milton Hershey (founder of hershey's chocolate) was born on September 13th (the reason for telling you all this will make sense when i show you her birth announcements).

(my precious Harmony!)

Jayden loves being a big sister :) and shes so good at it too!

(sisters!)

We are so happy to have Harmony.. shes happy, healthy and super adorable (and super tiny).

(daddy loves his new lil girl!)

(our first family pic as a whole family)

(me and my tiny baby girl)

(leaving the hospital... a day early!)

(Harmony in her napper wide awake!)

I just finished Harmony's birth announcements (which i'll post on here when we actually get the inserts in and send them out). Sorry I've been gone so much but it's hard to find time to blog (with a 20 month old going through the terrible twos and a 2 week old), I really haven't even got to craft much lately except the birth announcements.

Tomorrow is my birthday (25.. ugh thats like 1/4 of a century wow im old).. so when I have a little more time I'll be doing a giveaway (i'll have a lil contest for the giveaway.. it'll be really easy thow I promise).

And while I was away.. among many many other things.. Adam took us all to the beach (it was Jayden's first time in Newport and Harmony's first time at the beach ever). I'll hopefully get some pics of that trip up sometime in the next couple weeks lol.

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!

Awesome Dad Layout

I couldnt help myself I had to make the page match Adam's shirt... because it's so true! :) Pretty simple layout..

I started with some chipboard that came with our pillow cases (for a challenge to recycle that I am entering this in it'll be listed where I list the challenges normally). I cut the big star out of the chipboard using the Simply Charmed cart.. I cut it at 3 3/4 inches.

I just flipped it to the other side (it was a solid off white color) and inked it with yellow chalk ink.

Cut the circle out at 4 inches using my circle cutting tool and added a little blue ink to give it some texture. I outlined the circle with white scribbles 3d paint (to make it match the star on Adam's shirt).

The title was cut at 1 1/4 inches using the Pooh Font cart. I cut the white out in Marker Shadow and the blue in just Marker. I ripped blue paper and adhered the title to that and then I ripped white paper to accent the blue (similar to the title). The pics have a small framed blue mat behind them.. and one has Scribbles 3d paint dots in the corners and the other has a white outline with Scribbles 3d paint. Hope you like. This is page #6 in 7 days :( dang I fell behind.. hopefully I catch up today thow :) we'll see!

Daddy's Girl Layout

This is definitely one of my all time fav pics of Adam & Jayden!! :) I even put it in a frame on Adams desk that says "My prince did come... his name is Daddy!" I thought it was too perfect!

I made this layout using a sketch from Sassy Lil' Sketches.. All of the little squares are cut at 2 3/4 inch x 2 3/4 inch and are scraps that were left over from some of my more recent layouts.. Thought this was a nice touch because it helps to tie all the pages in with colors and patterns. The title is cut with Plantin Schoolbook.. (my very first time using this cart lol).

Heaven Sent Layout

I am SOOOOOOOOOOO happy with how this turned out. I think its quite possibly one of my favorite layouts I've ever made. The sketch is from Sassy Lil Sketchs. And on top of this being one of my fav layouts ever.. and being super cute.. I also am still keeping up with my goal.. this is Day 3 and layout 3 for Jayden's book :) yay! I technically made it today but I started it at like 12am and finished it at like 2am.. Adam comes home today and I haven't seen him for almost 2 weeks so I figure I won't get any pages done today.. so its a good thing I made this one late last night (or early this morning however you look at it).

I was so proud of myself for coming up with the onsies on the bakers twine and then after i got done with it I looked at the sketch again and saw I wasnt the first person to have this idea.. oh well I still LOVE it! I got the bakers twine from Really Reasonable Ribbon.. the papers are all from different companies and lines and the only one I know for sure is the pink dotted one is from DCWV. I inked the edges on the large pink plaid background with light pink chalk in and its cut at about 9x9. The onsies were all cut from the Life's A Party cart at different sizes from 1inch - 13/4 inch. I used Mono glue to adhere the bakers twine and ATG for everything else. I also got to use my irock again! yay! I used it in the corners of the pink plaid mat and on a few different random onsies. One of the onsies and once cloud have a pop dot under them. I hand cut all of the clouds on the top and the title HEAVEN SENT is cut at 1in with the Once Upon A Princess cart. The paper for the title and a few of the onsies has a simmer to it.. its like a shiny paper and I thought it was perfect for this!

I am entering this layout into the following challenges:

Really Reasonable Ribbon - #30

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!

Precious Layout

I just finished up another page for Jayden's scrapbook.. Using the same DCWV Scrap-a-holic sketch. This time I used the Nana's Nursery Baby Boy stack. I know it looks a little boyish but I thought it went well with the colors in the pics.. the blue gown I was wearing adn the orange/yellowish walls and such. I realize that it makes the whole thing look like Jayden is a boy :( oh well.

I made the bottle using Simply Charmed & the title Precious is cut from Once Upon A Princess with a piece of yellow DCWV adhesive back mat.. from a 4x6 mat stack. And the pleated ribbon was my very first attempt I think it turned out pretty good for a first try. :).

Im entering this into the following challenges:

DCWV - August Scrap-a-holic sketch

Really Reasonable Ribbon - #30

So far thats 2 pages for Jayden's book in 2 days.. that means Im right on track.. hopefully I stay that way.. or even better.. surpassing my goal would be wonderful!!
