Slumber My Darling Layout
I took this photo of Maggie when she was barely 2 months old. The tiny crocheted cap and sweater were mine when I was a newborn, and I have been saving them until I had a daughter of my own to wear them. I took so many photos when she wore this outfit, but this was the shot that melted my heart. I have waited for over three years to scrapbook this photo because I just couldn’t find the right papers and tiny details to put with it; it is so hard to scrap the photos I love most and that tug the most at my heartstrings. I never feel like I can do them justice. I finally settled on this Cosmo Cricket paper, and I’m finally happy with the results!
Oh my!!!! How lovely and sweet isn´t that! I really love that layout and photo!!!

It’s absolutely beautiful! I feel the same way about some photos- I hope that when I can scrap them that they will turn out even half as nice.

Hi Leah, Just wanted to say that the top 3 or 4 lines of your latest post are missing. Maybe this is happening only to me, I dont know. But it has happened to every new post starting from the Father’s Day one. Nothing wrong in that, just thought you’d like to know. Priya

Glad you are posting more layouts and projects. I love your style. However, parts of your new web site are impossible to read. Anything in gray is a blur and things in green are almost invisible. Hope your web designer can fix this. I hate to miss anything on your site.

The photo is beautiful and the way you have scrapped it is amazing. Beautiful choice of papers to use with this picture. So beautiful. Your things always are, I can’t imagine how you could not do your pics justice- I am always so inspired by the gorgeous pages you create.

simply stunning, Leah. I love the cutwork and the buttons tucked in here and there.
