(Erin) "Love Her Smile" ~ My Creative Sketches!

Good morning and happy Friday!! Supposedly, the technician for my satellite internet is on his way here, but considering I've waited over a month and a half for this appointment, have been jerked around and cancelled on, I won't get too excited until it's actually DONE!
So today I have a layout to share with you that I completed last night. It's for the current sketch challenge over at My Creative Sketches. I really loved this sketch and knew that these adorable photos of my baby girl Aspen would fit perfectly here. I've used some more of the gorgeous Bo Bunny "Country Gardens" collection and what more perfectly pink papers to use on a baby girl page?? Pink and brown, like pink and black, is a color combo I just love.
Here is my layout: I simply cannot resist her cheek-bursting smile- she is just WAY too adorable!! And such an easy going, patient baby...I'm thinking what people have told me about Baby #3 just might be right! She's been a breeze compared to my little Gunner!
Here are a couple close-ups:And the amazing sketch:And there you have it! My mom is coming up today! For most of the last 10 years she's lived all over the country, mostly in the southern half and we have not seen much of her, which has been hard on me as a daughter and even harder on me as a mom as my kids haven't had their grandma around. But now she's (FINALLY) decided that what's important in life is her family, so she quit her job in Texas and just came up here! She's been at Kelly's for the last week and will now be staying with me until she finds a job and a place to live. So things should be interesting! But I'm going to be thankful and take what I can get.
I hope you have a great day and an amazing weekend...I'm sure I'll be around.
Take care :).

My mom moved across the country to be close when the grandkids came along. Grammas are a blessing. I'm happy for you. Beautiful layout. I really love the unique way that you bring circular elements in.
