You Make Me Happy

Good afternoon!! How is everybody doing? It's been an interesting day here, so far. I live in NE Minnesota, and we have had some extreme flooding in our city over the past 24 hours. Lucky for me, the spot I live in has not sustained any damage yet, but most other parts of town have...they are talking millions of dollars worth of damage. So much water, it's amazing. This is not typical of this area, due to Duluth being a "city on a hill" and all, so it's been just amazing to see so much water everywhere. Actually, I haven't left the house, due to roads being unsafe and sinkholes forming all over the place. So I have spent much of the day looking at photos on the internet.
Anyway..on a happy note, I have a layout to share! It was difficult to photograph, due to the dismal weather making it so dark, but you'll get the idea, anyway!
I used the new sketch over at Get Creative. I am also playing along with Challenge Me Happy's Birthday Hoopla! Each of their designers came up with a challenge, and this one is for Michelle's word challenge, to use the word "Happy."
These photos were taken at Lilah's birthday party, by my lovely sister, Erin. Me and my honey, so happy :) I used some of Lily Bee's Handmade and Double Dutch collections for this, along with some fabric from my sewing stash for the ruffle behind the circle, and the fabric flower I made to match!




Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day!!!!!!

This is gorgeous Kelly, you and Jeremy are a beautiful couple :) Stay safe in all that water, the pics you put on FB were crazy!!

Love how the colors in the twine match your flowers & banner. Those fabric flowers are neat too. We had flooding in our town in 2007. Unfortunately, there were some people that died because of sinkholes. Can be scary. Be careful & take care.
