This is my happy

Hi all! I've got a new layout to share with you today- this is one of my all time favorites. Sometimes everything just syncs up and you make something you can really be proud of. I decided to take a little break from scrapbooking Henry (I already have a full album and he's only 12 weeks old! By the time he's grown he'll need a storage unit for his scrapbooks!!) So I decided to do something TOTALLY different and scrapbook how Henry came to be, aka my pregnancy album. I know, I'm really stretching! haha! For this page I scrapped one of my maternity photos. They were taken up in the gorgeous Utah mountains last Fall. It was so beautiful!!

I used paper from Simple Stories for this layout. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe this company caters to the Project Life or pocket type scrapbooking. I think this style is awesome, and a great hybrid, but I still like to create the whole page layouts. But I really like a lot of the lines made by Simple Stories so I decided to show how you can still create full page layouts using this type of product.

I used a sketch from Stuck on U sketches as my starting point. I really liked the versatility of this sketch and had a lot of fun with it. Because of the layout, I was able to use a couple of the journaling cards as part of my design. I layered them over a frame cut from Elegant Edges. I added the cute cute borders on the top and bottom that were in the paper kit. They also have these awesome clear overlays (Acetate? Vellum? I'm not really sure what it's made of...) but I thought it looked cute and added a nice design element to my layout.

I really really love these little man/woman shapes. They are so cute and fun! I got these from the Small Talk Frames and Tags cartridge. I layered them over a little fall tree and added a heart over the ladies' belly because... of course. ;)

Just used alphas from the paper kit for my title- and it's so true. That man and the little baby that was growing in my belly are my true life's happiness!

Thanks for checking out my project and stopping by today- I sure appreciate your support!!
