You are Berry Special to me

I know...you're probably getting sick of fruit cards...but here's another one. I decided to give this little strawberry a face. I think he turned out cute. I had to use my Gypsy to remove a few of the spots...so I had room to stamp the little face. Again....a lot of scraps were harmed in the making of this card. I swear...those scraps breed in my drawers. I actually throw out scraps that are too small now...otherwise my scrap space would be overtaken by loose paper pieces. Thanks for stopping by...Lee-Ann :)

Page from Donna's baby book

When one of our pals have a baby...we all get together to make a baby album. I chose February. I already had this paper that I was dying to use...it's too cute. I also decided right away that I had to use these adorable cuts from the Simply Charmed cart. The title "love bug" was also from this cart. What made this layout even more stressful was that it was for my pal Donna...who owns my fav scrapbooking store...who is also an amazing scrapbooker and card maker.Now I know she loves everything people make for her and the thought that went into it...but she's not exactly one of those non-crafters that are impressed by anything. Anyways...I love how it turned out...and I can't wait to see it with a pic of her adorable baby boy. Thanks for dropping by...
