Inspired By Cristina Blog Hop

Good Morning Everyone!

---For the Mother's Day Blog Hop please click here----

   Welcome to the Inspired By Cristina Blog Hop and the start of her anniversary week! Cristina has been sick all week (which is why the EAD Design stickers giveaway was postponed) so Im hoping this blog hop will make her feel slightly better.

You should have arrived from Cristina's blog but if not make sure to visit her to start from the beginning (im the second stop). The list is at the end of this post for your reference. I have been inspired a lot by Cristina's projects so this was easy and fun for me to create. I am trying my best to get caught up on my daughter's first year album so a layout was a must!

Here is the layout I was inspired by:


Here is my version:

The photos are fine in real life. I couldnt get away from a glare! :)

I fortunately had the same cartridges she used so I tried to stick with the same cuts. I changed it up a bit by only making it a single page layout. If you have been a follower of my blog then you know how much I hate don't enjoy two page layouts. However, two page layouts are going to pop up more just so I can include more photos and get finished with my daughter's book quicker!

I love the way this turned out and how great the colors match her play mat she was sleeping on. This nap didnt last BTW but it was still cute for scrapping ;P.
I am so happy for Cristina in reaching this milestone and accomplishing all she has in a year. She is such a great friend and I wish her many more successful years with her blog!

Your next stop on the hop is  Christina B

Supplies:
Cartridges: Sugar & Spice, Create A Critter, Once Upon A Princess (Shaped Mat), Storybook, Carousel
Paper: Color-bok, Echo Park Little Girl
Peachy Keen Stamps
Black MS Pen
Stickles: Icicle

Here is the lineup in case you get lost! Thanks for visiting :)
