Tug on my heart strings....

***Scroll down to next post for RRR Blog Hop***

There is probably one thing that I tend to enjoy

almost as much as spending time with my kids...

and that is scrapping those moments that we spend together.

When I scrapbook, I know that I am creating a layout that showcases a particular event or moment in time that will live in my family's hearts forever. 

It is very important to me that I capture the special moments to document,

and equally important to me that they be showcased using the right products.

When I saw this sketch by Melinda Spinks over on the My Little Shoebox blog,

I just HAD to create a layout for it!

It is gorgeous and will showcase a "sweetheart" photo fantastically!!!

AND...Since

My friend Kris Berc sent me a little surprise package 

that had lots of MLS goodies on the inside,

I was ready to start creating with it!

THANK YOU KRIS!!!!!

Here is Melinda's sketch...

Isn't it amazing!!!!

Here is the layout that I created using some of my goodies from Kris...

Oh....and the little yellow flowers are from my friend Michelle Unruh!

I LOVE having scrappy friends! 

Y'all are the best!!!

Now...I have noticed myself using a lot of pastel-y kind of colors lately.

Crazy, I know...because I usually don't...but I am finding that I really like them!

The coral and the pale yellow paired with the powder blue really makes my heart sing a happy song!

And this photo make my heart dance!

I love what I captured on film in this shot.

Joe truly adores his little girl every bit as much as she adores her Daddy.

It is evident in this one moment in time that was captured forever...

AND I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to use this sketch paired with these MLS products,

topped off with the RRR Ribbon.

These are what is making this photo shine. 

THANK you Melinda, for the inspiration...

Thank you Kris for the goodies,

Thank you Michelle for the perfect little yellow flowers.

Thank you all for stopping by to visit me today!!!!

Have a Magnificent week!
