(Kelly) "Goin' On 2"

Good morning! It really is a good morning, as I had a blissful 8 hour straight night of sleep last night!! I keep wondering when this is all going to end, this lovely baby sleeping through the night/most of the night thing. She slept from 10-6 last night. Normally I wouldn't let her go so long without eating, and if I had woken up, I would have woken her to feed at some point, but I guess we all needed the rest! Such a difference between Paisley, and Lilah, who used to get up every two hours to eat when she was a newborn...
Anyway..I have a really fun layout to share today. I was immediately inspired by the challenge over at Challenge Me Happy. The bright colors in the photo were absolutely perfect for these photos of Lilah, and the Amy Tangerine Sketchbook collection. I almost didn't buy this collection..at first I thought it just wasn't for me. I'm soooo glad I did!!! I'm in love with the super bright colors and fun patterns, this range is definitely very different from anything else out there right now.
On to my layout...ever since we brought Paisley home from the hospital, I've been amazed by how "big" my first baby is...she's going on 2, and seems to grow an inch taller each day!! She's so full of personality..extremely loud, hyper, outspoken, yet so sweet and loving. She is terrified and fascinated by bugs, is learning her letters, loves her books, and is such a cuddler...she's amazing. I love these fun photos...you can see so much of the above described personality.
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look..I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend!!




Here's the inspiration photo:

Kelly, this is SO awesome! This is one of my favorites of yours lately...I just love how the colors in her jacket go perfectly with the papers! And they are just right for the photo challenge, too. I love the design here...the fussy cut elements are in just the right places, and your flowers just set it all off. Gorgeous! You've inspired me to buy this collection...immediately :)

I think every new one instantly becmes my favorite! You certainly aced this color challenge, but how perfect the pics were for this. I am so fascinated with Lilah. She reminds me so much of my spunky red-headed granddaughter who is now 23 years old and still has the spunk and spirit!

Love it Kelly! very bright and fun, that AC, they have the best papers for layouts like this! Lilah is such a cutie! You might just be one of the lucky ones that has a newborn that likes to sleep all night :) I didn't have that luck... lol...

I have a friend who just had her 2nd baby at the end of February. She said the same thing. Her 1st baby was up every 2-4 hrs. during the night but the 2nd sleeps almost all night. Total opposites. Such a fun LO! I love the fussy cutting & different doodles & patterns.

Kelly I adore this layout! Lilah looks so cute in her striped sweater and everything goes perfectly with the photos! I've got the same paper sitting on my table to use! Love the journaling!!!

Sandra said...

The bright colours really suit this LO of Lilah, it looks fabulous.
