Happy News x 2!

Baby Ryan arrived late Friday night, and both mommy and baby are doing well. Unlucky me has come down with a nasty cold, so I am not able to go see him yet. Waa!!! My mother was nice enough to send me some photos, and let me tell you, he's a cutey!

So that was happy news #1, are you ready for happy news #2?

The scrapbook page I mentioned in my previous post did double duty as my entry for the Silly Monkey Crafts design team call. And.... I am one of 18 ladies who will be moving on to round 2 of the call! I'm so excited!

For round 1, you had to make a project using this layout provided by Nikki:


I decided to use the layout to make the first page of the scrapbook album I am putting together for Ryan.
I've been saving the adorable image from hÄnglar & stÄnglar for projects for Ryan, but hadn't found the right one to use it on yet. When I saw this sketch a light bulb went on and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I liked the end result so much that I flipped the sketch a bit and used it for the wall art in my previous post.
