(Kelly) "Grow, baby, grow"

**This is our second post for today...if you are just stopping by, be sure to scroll down and see Erin's lovely layout in the previous post :)***

Good afternoon!! I have to say, I have started using bright, girly colors again (after being obsessed with cool blues and muted colors for awhile..), and I am SO excited about it!!! Another thing I am excited about, is finally using a part from one of my favorite children's books. My daughter has a book called "Sleep, Baby, Sleep" by Maryann Cusimano Love, and Maria van Lieshout. I have had it hidden in my scrap room for some time now, wanting to use various excerpts from this book, and now I finally have!! The title and journaling of this layout are from a page in the book, and it goes like this: 
Grow, baby, grow.
From our arms you'll go,
unfurling like a butterfly,
cocoon opening to the sky.
Grow, baby, grow.
I thought this was just perfect for these pictures of Lilah, because she is just growing so fast and she looks so big and grown up!!
This layout is for Challenge #14 over at Challenge Me Happy, it is a scraplift challenge, to lift a very lovely layout by Trina McClune. Head over there and check it out!! The layout is gorgeous, and I was so inspired by it. Here's my layout:


 I had so much fun with all the layering, the tons of flowers and fussy cutting. Thanks for checking it out!!

I really love this LO! And I love the idea (again you have inspired me). I have a 2 year old and I swear that I put her to bed at night and by morning she has grown more. Just gorgeous.
