Baby layout
 
While I was pregnant I would tend to bore easily. One of the things that kept me busy was preparing pages to have on hand after the many newborn pictures started rolling in. The lettering was by hand, there is stitching from a vintage Singer sewing machine and I stamped the baby buggy and the shadowing on the corners. Alas, it is still empty, and waiting for the most perfect picture(s) to fill the spaces.

This was our first time at the beach as an "expecting" couple. As you can see, the baby bump is barely there, but we had already decided on a name. Lydia. 

Lydia Newborn

I couldn't stop at the first page like this that I made. I loved the design so much that I made a second. She was so cute in the little basket, and the elephant was a gift from Daddy's work.

My Family as Babies!

I am excited to debut my newest project My Family as Babies: a scrapbook of, well, my family as babies. All of which will lead into my baby's scrapbook. Yes, that means I am a mother to be!! I have 5 months to compile such a book, before my life becomes completely revolved around my little ball of joy. 

I came across these amazing photos of my grandpa (on my mom's side), his mother, and his older brother.
