Hello bloggers.
I was so excited when Kellie, the owner of Give A Girl A, asked me to join her, Krista - the owner of Saturated Canary, and many other creative ladies, to bring you guys a very fun blog hop, full of inspiration and awesome blog candy.
I've been on a "baby" kick. Not that I want to have another one, OH NO!!, lol... But that I keep looking at Giovanni's baby pictures, wondering where the time has gone. He's only 2, but has the common sense and smarts of a 4 year old. (Every mom says that, huh?... lol).
I recently printed out some newborn photos and had been wanting to use them in a project, but didn't exactly know how. As you know I'm a SMASH*aholic, but I wanted these special photos to be used differently.
So I got to brainstorming and came up with this 12x12, really simple layout.
It's been a while since I created a layout, [Smashing is much easier for me], but I had so much fun creating it.
I used Simple Stories "Baby Steps" 6x6 pad to cut bits and pieces for the layout, a few stickers & rub-ons from my stash, faux stitching and some wood veneers to add cute touches here and there.
I colored the new Saturated Canary "Jelly Bug" digital stamp (available in Krista's shop soon), with Copics and added her to this layout because that adorable little critter just screamed "baby mobile" to me for some reason. It was the perfect fit!
The stamp set I used from Kellie's Shop is called "Keen As Mustard". The sentiments helped me capture the emotion/s I wanted to express in the layout.
There's still some journaling to add under "She said", "He said", but this layout is complete and will stay hanging in my craftroom for a while, at least until mom sees it and hints how much she'd love to have it. lol.
I will be giving away 1 of Kellie's acrylic stamp sets (from her shop), and also a package full of yummy craft supplies (seen in the photo below).
To Win:
1 - follow my blog.
2 - leave a comment (by 3/5/13) telling me what was the last layout you made.
3 - hop along to the other blogs listed below and leave them a comment too.
(we'll be checking, so make sure you play along).
Next on the hop is the extremely talented Alyce, but all the blog links are below incase you get lost.

Oh this is the sweetest layout I've seen in a long, long time!!!! My last layout has been a while ago, but featured my then 2 yr. old grandson at Halloween... the cutest scarecrow ever!!! LOL!!
Fun hop!!
Teri
really cute layout. like how simple it is. I am now a follower on your blog
Love your layout and your coloring!!!
Love your coloring. It's been awhile since I've done a layout but I have been making cards like crazy
love your layout, I am a follower on your blog, It is really not a layout but a smash book of my 16 year old for her boy friend. thanks for a chance to win.... alissa
I absolutely LOVE that layout - I 'pinned' it immediately! My last layout was my niece and I wasn't thrilled with it so I think I'll redo it with some of your ideas above.
I keep stumbling upon your blog and absolutely love your work but keep forgetting to put my email addy in the little box but it's done now - YAY!! The last LO I completed was a couple of weeks ago. I have been working on my now 3 year old's first 12 month album and have finally done 3 more months for him - so good to know I'm almost done!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!!
Love your layout and your coloring is amazing! The last layout I did was probably for a Veterans Day hop, but working on some of my new grandson! I am also your latest follower.

Totally gorgeous page. TFS.
Great layout. Love the colours you've used. I can't remember the last layout I've done? I think it was one of my little girl who is now 6! lol.
Hugs, Kylie xo
Fabulous layout. Love it. I haven't done a layout in forever. I have tons that need to be done but I make cards more often. Thanks for a chance to win. Hugs, Robin
Love your layout and the way you popped in Krista's new digi--works perfectly! Wow, can't recall the last time I finished a layout, but I've been working on my wedding pages for some time now. As soon as my craft room is finished, it will be easier than pulling craft supplies into the kitchen counters.
Wonderful way to remember the birth of your son. :)
The last layout that I made was for my daughter's baby book a couple of years ago. She is now 18 years old!! I have some catching up to do. I find that I am way too OCD sometimes.
SO CUTE! I get the same baby thoughts. And they stop at pictures, lol. We are done! lol I love it, twinnie! You are so talented. Hugs!
The last layout I made was my son at halloween. I did one of his costume, and one of the pumpkin carving. Totally didn't read it right the first time around, haha
What a FABULOUS layout!!! I LOVE the coloring you did on the Saturated Canary image as well!! GREAT design!!! Thanks for sharing it and for the chance to win!! You are amazing with scrapbook pages, I can tell!!
wow love your idea with the layout may i lift this... my last layout was a last week done you can see it in sb.com in my gallery ozmagi.... love to make my one flowers and embelishment... tfs hugs magi
AWESOME!! Your page is so so cute. I'm pretty new to crafting so have not yet attempted a scrapbook page. But I wish I started earlier and did something like your page for all my kids. I guess its not too late as I have stacks of their photos lying around. Now I'll need some of Kellie's stamp sets.
love your lay out. great job
Oh! Those sweet baby pictures and your layout is great! I love those baby days. I guess that's why I have 5 kids. And now my oldest is 15 and I am in a whirlwind asking the same question. Where did the time go? Do it's very important to capture every moment! I haven't done any scrapbook layouts but I do make lots of cards and my last Smashbook entry was for Wicked the musical.
Damaris, your layout is absolutely "ADORABLE". I love everything about it. My last layout was of a Luau with some friends.
Gorgeous layout! I love it. My last layout was of my oldest son, and was completed along with two cards and two mini albums at a 'Scrap Camp weekend'. I've been colouring my 'Saturated Canary' digis since then.
What a sweet, lovely layout!!
First off, your coloring is awesome...as is your layout. Beautiful job. Thanks for the chance to win.
I am a new follower...had a lot of fun looking at your lovely blog...very inspiring. I have made it to all the blogs but one and my blogger just would not let me leave a comment...I did try....My last layout was of my son and his family...love to scrapbook!
Your page is so beautiful. I love those papers and the layout works so well with all the great sentiment stamps. TFS!
Great layout! What a beautiful baby! The last layout I made was for my niece's wedding last May. I have so many more to do too. Thanks for a chance to win.
This is awesome, love how you've added her to the page, I havent done many layouts but started making some of my daughter when she was younger ll in pinks, Thanks for the hop Hugs julie P
Oooh Damaris! This is like bingo perfection layout! I love the beautiful design and how you incorporated all these fun new stamps! I have to confess, it's been about a year since I've done a layout. :( I do miss it, once we settle into the new home I'll start back up again. I'm a follower now, because I adore your work!
Awesome layout! I love how sweet it is!
Love how you incorporated all these great products into your wonderful layout! Thanks for the inspiration.
how super cool is your layout? VERY!! Love it. it's totally different. I am inspired. the stamp really goes well with it too :)
Oh my goodness. This is the most beautiful Smash book. Thank you for sharing your talents. I haven't tried the smash book idea yet although I'm anxious to do so.....soon.... My last layout for scrap booking was Christmas. Thank you so much for putting candy up for grab. I'm so glad I was introduced to your blog. You are an amazing talent!!!
So precious! What a beautiful layout! I'm more of a card maker than a scrap/SMASH booker. I think I've done all of, hmm, ONE, layout in my son's scrapbook! It was of the day he was born and he's now almost 3-1/2! lol Guess I'd better get on that... Thanks for the chance to win! :-)
{hugs}

wow, this layout is amazing. I love the white space it really makes the rest pop. the colours and your colouring of the adorable image are gorgeous, perfect for these baby photos.
What an awesome layout!! It doesn't look simple to me at all....I love the faux stitching and the papers you used, and the SC image is super sweet.
I guess I should read the instructions:) The last layout I made was..yikes...2 years ago for our vacation, I'm more of a card maker.
I saw sneeks of this on instagram I think! It's so adorable! Interesting enough the last layout I made doesn't even have a picture yet. I'm getting ready to move into a new place and I just couldn't wait to use my Dear Lizzy 5th and Frolic! So even though I haven't moved yet I have a layout waiting for a photo.
Really really like this layout. I haven't done a layout in awhile. In fact it was bout my son joining the marines. Thanks for the chance to win and I look forward to your posts.
Darling project! I am moe of a cardmaker- I have made a couple of scrapbooks- last page maybe 2 yrs ago : ) Gota love that fun SC image!
So cute layout!
I´m not a big lo maker, only made a few. My last one was a memory of our two dog.
totally awesome layout...LOVE the design!!!
Awesome!!!!
Hugs
Cordine
It's layouts like this that make me think about what I can create!!
I did a layout for a contest. It was of my older son "teaching" my middle son counting!! It's on my blog.
Fabulous layout, Damaris! I love the newborn photos and the darling SC image:)
I've never created a layout but I'd love to give it a try. It looks like so much fun:) Thanks for sharing.
Dafi xx
OMG How adorable is this layout.Loove it ! I actually can say I made a layout just last month.Before that well that's another subject.lol. I made a resolution to make at least one page a month.I'm still gonna keep up with cards and altered items but gotta get my gear on pages .TFS
Beautiful layout! I made a small 5x7 album and photos for my mother at Christmas time. I am following by email so I do hope that will count.
oh wow, thats amazing and such a good idea to mix digital pictures with photo´s and Krista´s beautiful image. I just love the way you put everything together and the colouring of the image is fantastic. Its been a while since I made a LO as I am so much into card making these days but the last one I made was of my son when he was a little boy - I really need to start doing LO´s again..thanks so much for the inspiration and kick-start :)
Pialine xx
Hmmm, I don't really do layouts for scrapbooking right now,I just make cards. The most recent layout I did do was for a mini album with my fur babies in it. Love your ideas!
oh my this is just gorgeous! I love the colour scheme and the photo's are so special.
hugs Lou xxx
Really great layout! Very clever. I love the new SC image. Wow it's been way too long since I did a layout. I think the last one I did was a family layout for my mother.
Lovely
Last layout was of my dog and I wasn't crazy about it
love the way you
incorporated the Saturated Canary stamps :-)
Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us!!
Hugs
Lorianna

<3 Emily L.
Well this is a "smashing" LO! It's very creative and your coloring is beautiful! The last LO I made was for an album for a friend. I was commissioned to make it for her 40th Bday. I am a card maker at heart. :)
WOW, fantastic layout...love the cas look but with so much detail...brilliant!
How cute! I love the CAS design of this layout and the Simple Stories papers are so pretty! I created my very first 12x12 scrapbook page layout on September 12th, 2012. And sadly I haven't made any since then! I am only 20 1/2 years behind on my scrapbooking! GAH! Thanks for the chance to win these goodies! I am loving that card in there :D If you wanna peek at my scrapbook page here is a link to it on my blog...

For me it has been at least 3 years since I have done a layout. I am hoping to get back in it!

I so loved this LO. I have followed your blog, but I'm signed. Up, because I don't know how to after I have had problems with my own blog.
My last LO was over a year ago and it was for a competetion and was a picture from Greenland.
I love along in the blog hop now.
Hugs Mie
Adore this layout! The last layout I did was several months ago for a class I was teaching. It was a layout of the early years of my marriage. I hadn't done a layout of my husband and I, so it was very fun.
Love this page, all goes together so well. :)
Gorgeous! Love the colours and the sensational layout!
xoxo xCarly

My first time on your site. Beautiful baby layout. You're right - the octopus does remind me of a mobile!!!. The last layout I made was a wedding page for my son and daughter-in-law. Thank you for the chance to win!
Kids grow up so fast! I love your simple layout. It doesn't look simple it looks beautiful!! I can honestly say I don't remember when the last time I made a layout was. I know it has been 2 months since I have done anything crafty and I miss it so much!! Just been really busy! :)
Great hop and lovely creations :) my last layout was ages ago - I'm just doing altered stuff and greeting cards the last years, think the last LO was of my cat Tamlin ♥ R.I.P
Wow, you have a great blog! I'm a new follower. The last layout I made was of my son and DH playing basketball. I really loved your layout, the simplicity of it is stunning. Your coloring is prefect, too!
Am enjoying your blog-love the image in the valentine card to your hubby! Does the last layout include for a card?(Last night); but the last scrapbook pages I did was last May for my son's graduation-they had to have pics for the wall; otherwise, it probably wouldn't be done either! This hop is inspiring me to pull out my scrapbooks again!
Wow, have you got me ready to do layouts again. It has been a while, the last one was of my Siamese Sierra that died. I was broken hearted and never wanted to forget my baby. I love your layout. It may be simple but it is eye catching. And the coloring on Jelly Bug is awesome. Thank you for sharing with us. Hugs ,Cathy K
Great colour palette!
Cute layout
OMg I absolutely love your layout!! I'm not a scrapbooker but want to be after seeing this Love the added touch of Krista's cute new image! HUgsxx
Following via GFC-- I have to admit, my layouts are all so boring! I need to challenge myself and do something like your cool grid layout.
so THIS is what you used that little image for! it's FAB! you are a genius, girl, with your layouts and embellies. it all works so wonderfully. and DUDE, i haven't done a layout in FOREVER. i honestly don't remember the last one i did - i filled a scrapbook and called it a day. (now, of course, i'm off to check my blog for the last one)
This is such a cute page. Love how you have used the image and stamps, so beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration and chance to win :) x
Wow! What a fun layout! Love the xxxooo with the image! Super cute!
Hugs,
Karen C
