Introducing the reason I have been absent these past months.....

Being pregnant and chasing after my boys left me little time or desire to scrapbook these last few months. I still have little time, but the desire is coming back! Two months ago we welcomed a beautiful little girl into our family and above is my first scrapbook page of her. I used primarily My Mind's Eye products since I have those is abundance. I am so excited to start using all the girly paper that I have accumulated over the past few years! My crafty posts will probably be few and far between but I am still here and still crafting when I am able. 

Products used in this layout:

• My Mind's Eye (MME)Lost & Found 2 Blush "beautiful girl"brads
• MME Indie Chic Nutmeg "boy" brads
• MME On The Bright Side "Polka" paper
• MME Nostalgia "Jacks" and "Scallop" papers

• ribbon and flowers from my stash

I'm getting this one in just under the wire again. The layout for Scrapbooksteals.com Amber #2 inspired me to finally fiddle around with the Silhouette Cameo that Dave got me for Christmas. Can I just say how absolutely awesome this machine is? I was able to see to fruition an idea I've had for awhile that I have unsuccessfully tried to create. I love this layout so much and cannot wait to keep on creating with my Cameo.
