(Kelly) "Bubble Bliss"

Good afternoon!! It feels like it's been awhile...I had a fairly busy week having my Mom here to visit, and haven't had a lot of time to scrap. But I did get to make this layout last night, using Sketchabilities sketch #66 . I am seriously in love with Karen Gerber's sketches, they are beautiful, and so fun to work with. I love that they pack multiple photos onto a 1-page layout, perfect for me! I was really excited to see that my "1 Month" layout that I made using sketch #65 was in their "Features" and is displayed with the rest of the top five in the Sketchabilities blog header, pretty neat!
I changed up the sketch just a touch, instead of the doily element, I decided to fussy-cut this hexagon/honeycomb pattern from MME's Follow Your Heart: Be Amazing collection. I never thought the hexagon trend would be something I'd get sucked into...but it just worked out perfectly here, I love it! And the colors in this paper line are some of my favorites. 
I journaled about Lilah's current obsession...bubbles...or "bubb-O's" as she calls them :) I pretty much hear about bubb-Os all day long!! I took these fun photos a few days ago, I ended up turning the photos b&w, because the colors just would not work for what I wanted to do with them. I just had fun getting a little "messy" with the random misting, stitching, and doodling. This was one of those layouts that just "came together" quickly and nicely, I didn't over think it, just started layering and liked what I saw! Thanks so much for taking a look!!



Oh, and another thing I thought I'd share...(please don't laugh, as I'm starting to look like a small whale)..Here is a photo taken yesterday, me at 33 weeks..woo hooo not far to go, now!!

What a beautiful layout, love that you turned the pics B&W, sometimes going with colorless pics gives you so much freedom to use any colors you want on the layout...This is just so pretty!! oh, and you look stunning, lots of pretty pregnancy glowing going on in this pic.. :) good luck in the next few weeks...
