Mama Has New Layouts to Share...Woot Woot!

My 2011 Scrapbooking goal to complete 3 layouts a week (or 12 layouts a month...whatever) is in full force.  True, it is still January and my goal is fresh; however, I am running with my scrappy mojo!  In an effort to make myself accountable, I am going to add a monthly total of layouts completed (over on my side bar) at the end of each month.  I have two new layouts to share with you today...

I started off grabbing these patterned papers for the title page of Hudson's album.  I had a photo from the day of his delivery nailed down to the page.  It was not working.  At all.  I gently yanked the photo off, rotated the page, and gravitated towards these photos of Hudson at 8 months.  Sure thing...they are a much better fit!  I printed off the journaling I used on his 8 months blog post into strips and adhered those to the layout.  Add in a few additional elements and done!  I pulled these papers from my Basic Grey Oliver stash.  Again.  The chipboard alphas are some old Heidi Swapp product I had laying around. 

I lifted the above design from my sweet friend, Jenney.  I find myself doing A LOT more 8.5x11 layouts lately.  Why was I so scared of them?!!!  Hudson's messy face in this photo makes me chuckle...'lil guy just L-O-V-E-S to eat!  I used some odds and ends from my Sassafras Lass goodies for this layout.  I cannot wait for the full reveal of their Starters line...I miss me some fun Sassafras!

Time to run...we meet with Hudson's not-so-new Urologist in a few hours and I have got to finish getting ready.  I will share with you the details of today's appointment and his (more than likely) surgeries in the coming days.  Have a great day, readers!!!
