Good morning! Popping in to share some new pages, but also to share an update. I'm officially OFF bedrest as of last week!! I can't really explain the relief we are feeling to have made it this far, but suffice it to say that it just feels plain AWESOME. :) As of yesterday I am 34 weeks pregnant. We have a scheduled csection date of March 5th to meet our new little guy. I know the time is going to fly by from here on out! Being up and around more and more has been incredibly tough on my body after lying down for nearly 11 weeks. Pretty sure it's because I'm a lot older this time around...oof. ;) It's a small price to pay for my sanity though...being able to get up and do things again, go to my boys' games and practices, have lunch with friends, contribute to the household, etc. has been invaluable for my sanity!
Now, for some scrappy stuff...BasicGrey's collection, True Love, is now in stores! You're definitely going to want to pick this one up...so pretty and perfect for all kinds of projects, Valentine's Day or not even. For this first layout, I used some instagram photos of the boys making their Valentines for their classmates last year. Having two boys sometimes makes using these girlier lines tough, but I love that this collection has plenty of non-pink pieces and embellishments that make it work for boy pages as well. I pulled out a lot of the red and aqua pappers and embellishments for this one, which makes it much more boy friendly :)
Now, with that being said, of course I love scrapping girly every now and then too. ;) This is a photo of my friend's daughter and it was so perfect for this collection. I'm loving the chipboard pieces, especially the arrows and banners!
Also, be sure to take a peek of BG's new line for Joann's, which was featured on the BG blog yesterday. Probably my fave BG collection EVER!! I can't wait to share what I've made :) Happy Tuesday!!
yeah for being off bedrest!!!! I love that little girl layout-so few people have used that pink and cream pallette with this line.I love how fresh that layout feels
