Baby x 2, SOUS 1-21-11

Happy Friday, everyone! My favorite day of the week! And always made extra special on Stuck on U Sketches reveal day! So, thanks for dropping by!

This week we have a fab sketch by designer Patti Hutch.  We hope you can play along with us this time .. you will love how adaptable this sketch is.

This layout is a bit different for me, huh? I don't get to do too many of these baby pages anymore .. well, unless I wanted to go back and start at the very beginning. Not! But any who ...  my dd Dara is expecting twins in the next few weeks. As a matter of fact she is (as of Wednesday) now on complete bed rest (and hating it!) until it's time for those BOYS to be born!  Dara inherited the "busy" gene, so bedrest is killing her!

Well, back to the layout ... this one took some time to do although I'm not really sure why. Part of that was just choosing the right papers and then changing my mind a couple of times.  LOL These are all from Webster's Pages except for the brown cardstock which I used to frame my whole page and for the inside of my letter blocks. I liked the combination of pale blue with the creamy yellow and a bit of stark white.

Instead of using a circle, I had the bright idea of doing a round shape of some kind and first came up with the idea of using a baby carriage image but switched to the bassinet because I thought it was so cute. Of course, I had to make it really big to go along with the sketch .. and love the outcome! This image, as well as the title and subtitle "twins," came from the New Arrival cartridge.  First time I've ever used it!

All the supplies, ribbon, brads, buttons and flowers are from my stash.  That awesome Prima floral  vine is called Mountain Lily, in Robins Egg Blue.  The large cream button is Jenni Bowlin. The brad I used to dangle the "twins" cut from is a Basic Grey Kioshi brad ..a gift from Floren at Generations Crafting. That's also where I bought all of my Websters!

Just another angle and close-up. I only used 2 photos ... for obvious reasons and because I didn't have a suitable third photo.  That's twin A in the top photo and twin B in the lower sonogram photo .. although that is a reversal of their position in utero.  Since Dara and Kevin are having twin boys, they decided to name them after both Grandpas. Isn't that sweet? My husband is grinning from ear to ear!

I fussy cut these 2 cute little guys from some more Webster's Pages, WonderFall .. thought it was perfect to use them!  As usual, there is lots of inking but otherwise, less distressing than is the norm for me.

I think that about wraps it up for this time.  Be sure to check out what all the designers have done this time! Remember you have 2 weeks to link up your project. We can't wait to see what you do! Thanks for all the lovely comments! I read every one ... and cherish them!
