Sometimes the smallest things.....

Hi Everyone, 

Hope you have been having a great weekend! I had to take a little time off this week to get back to 100% - I was pretty sick last week - and this week was feeling so drained in my energy - had to take a little break and I am so happy to feel good both in mind and body :) Speaking of bodies, one of my dear friends just welcomed a new little somebody! She and her husband and son just welcomed a beautiful little girl who was born on Valentine's day (what a sweet present for Mummy!)

Here is a little scrapbook page made for the little Valentine when she was in her mother's belly and I used the Be Mine Echo Park papers for this 8x8 scrapbook page along with one of my most favorite sentiments from Verve's Plain Janes: Smallest Things which says: Sometimes the smallest things, take up the most room in your heart" (by Winner the Pooh). I love this saying and placed it next to my friend's beautiful belly :). 

I wanted to keep the palette more grays and pinks - and so I went with some different heart motifs punched from the different DP and added some cherry blossom embellies to her hair and bottom corner.
This beautiful photo was taken by my dear friend Juliet Jarmosco who is an amazing photographer and  simply an amazing soul! I love the silhouette that she captured as well as the contrast of light and dark. So sweet :)

Here is a close up of this beautiful sentiment - I love the font that Julee has created and I love that it perfectly pairs with the Classy Label Die from Verve that goes with the Love Notes Stamp set. I stamped the Label from the Love Notes Stamp set in black and then stamped the sentiment in pink and cut it out with the Classy Label die and then popped it up on the sentiment panel and finished it off by adding some hearts to the whole scrapbook page:

I then Framed the 8x8 scrapbook page in a shadowbox - it was hard to take a picture where the reflection did not glare - so I am sorry about the angle of the photo. I love that there are a lot of dimensions in this page and I love the muted baby girl colors - but most of all I love and adore this picture and am so glad that her little baby girl is here! yay!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hope you have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

Big hugs,

Sankari :)
