You Make My Heart Smile...

No journaling needed for this layout.  She really does make my heart smile.  M is SUCH a sweet baby...so happy and content. Big smiles for whoever spares a minute to say hello, tickle her toes or practically even glance in her direction (poor, poor "neglected" third child...lol)! I didn't follow a sketch for this layout and it's the first layout I've done since little M joined our family.  It feels GREAT to be scrapping again.  I missed it more than I can even explain.  I feel like a few months of our family's story has been lost.

I cracked open a collection I'd been saving for a sweet photo and this one taken outside on the deck this week won out!  American Crafts is always my go-to manufacturer and they did not disappoint.  The Daydreams Collection is packed full of papers with bright colours, bold designs and just the perfect amount of glitter to bling up every project! All my paper on this layout belongs to the Daydreams collection. The ribbon is all AC as well, with the exception of the blue scalloped piece, which comes from MME's Fine and Dandy collection.  Of course I used Thickers for the title (Flat and Sunset) and MLS's Mini Alphas in Kiss for the date and little letters in the title.  A little Sew Easy floss for the sewn bracket and Pebbles Button Candy Dots (self-adhesive...can you say awesome?) were added into this layout.  The Daydreams collection has an excellent assortment of embellies and the fabric brads and colourful buttons were a treat!

Ahhhhh...onto the next project.  A little 2nd birthday layout for Owen...
