wanted to quickly share a layout i did a while ago, that went up on the jillibean soup blog today.

Sarah_big_smile

i wanted to use the new pattern papers from the old world cabbage stew collection, and dug around looking for photos to go with it. i came across these ones of sarah, from almost 8 years ago. i always loved these photos. she saw them, and asked why her hair was so big. lol! she had the thickest, waviest, touch of curly hair. it's still thick, but now just long and straight. i also used the home tweet home clear stamp set to make the tree and the little birdie. and the stitching? that's just drawn on with a pen 😉

keeping this short and sweet today. girls are on half days at school all week, so it's been a little crazier than usual around here.

    This is so cute. She has a beautiful smile, at first I thought it was a daycare kid of yours. She was young and cute. Love the colors for this one. Liked the colors on the one from yesterday too. Wow you are spoiling us by posting everyday, I love it thanks so much. Have fun with the girls, hope the weather is nice for you now to go out and enjoy like we are.

    You sure did a great job on the stitching. I would never have known it wasn’t sewn if you hadn’t said so. It is an adorable layout!!
