My new favorite layout!!

I really just LOVE how this page came together. These were our first "family portraits" together, taken by our friend Doug. We went down to the pavillion on the beach so we had some shade, so the baby wasn't in the sun too long. Looking at these pictures, I really wanted to bring out the bright pinks that Amanda and I were wearing and that beautiful shade of navy in Eric's shirt. I found some awesome designer paper by My Mind's Eye, which matched perfectly. I was really happy to use my new Pixie (by Singer) sewing machine on the pages as well. The chipboard letters are from K&Co. They have a line of recycled materials so I wanted to try them out, and I have to say, I am quite pleased with the variety and quality. The large flowers on the page are cut from a piece of MME designer paper, and then glittered with stickles. Unity Stamps adorn my page: September KOM, Nov KOM.

Here are some close ups of the pages themselves. I LOVE the stamp in the November Kit of the Month (KOM) that reads, "Home is where your story begins." How true is that?? Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day and HAPPY SCRAPPIN!!!
