Documenting this Sweet Face

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

I'm popping in today with a new layout of my cutie pie nephew. My sister took this picture of him while he was enjoying yummy snack time. I love the expression on his face and had to document this fun moment.

I used the Creative Scrappers sketch for this one!

Did you notice the fun element that I added to the top of the photo? I used some paper confetti shreds. I think it adds an interesting touch to the page.

The paper, stickers, and embellishments are from the CTMH - Babycakes collection. The wooden "documented" piece is from The Paper Bakery.

The journaling is from a poem that I found online about little boys. I think it fits so well with the photo!

I hope you all enjoy your weekend! I'll be popping in with more new projects!!!

I'm so happy for them!

Good morning everyone! I wanted to pop in today to share a very special card. I made this one for a fellow teacher and her husband. They have long battled with infertility. I truly believe that God is always with us even through difficult times. 

Well, he had a plan for these two. He has blessed them with not only one child, but two. They have adopted a brother and sister who needed a good home. 

Adoption is a beautiful thing. The important thing to remember is that having parents that love you, whether biological or chosen, is a tremendous gift. They are going to be awesome parents to these two beautiful children.

I just love this quote that I found online...

They may not have my eyes, they may not have my smile, but they have all my heart.

I used the Babycakes collection from Close to My Heart for this one. I just love the colors and the adorable giraffe.

I'm playing along in the Seize the Sketch challenge!

Be sure to stop back by later on this week. I've got a fun New Year's project to show ya!

My Crafty Weekend with Friends

Monday is here! It was a busy weekend for me. I'm just popping in today to show you a Fall-inspired card. I also wanted to share a couple of photos from our Saturday craft day.

My sweet co-worker Susana invited me over for a card making party that Tammy was hosting. We had so much fun crafting, talking, and eating yummy food. I can't wait to get together again with these ladies. 

Here we all are showing off our cards!

This is some of the goodies that we snacked on during the event.

So...how was your weekend?

Did you all get crafty?
