I remember this day clearly like it was yesterday. My son had just started smiling a couple of weeks prior and I wanted to capture it on camera. I got his attention and then made him smile. The smile turned into a big cheesy grin! It was so exciting and you can be sure there were lots of hugs and kisses afterwards. Heehee.

At the top of the right side of the layout, I used one of the speech bubbles from Hello. On the second line, I created another custom phrase ‘Happy Boy’ by using happy from ‘And Be Happy’, the b from ‘Beyond Measure’, the o from ‘Oh Yes You Are!’ and the y from ‘And Be Happy’. All of this was easily done using washi tape to mask off portions of the stamps just like I demonstrated in one of my video tutorials. I used the same technique to create the layout title of ‘So Happy’, again using the words ‘Happiness, Sunshine, Joy’ from So Breezy. Finally, the ‘Oh. Em. Gee’ acronym, which I absolutely had to use, is from Good Times.
Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check the Mama Elephant Blog on Monday to see if you’re one of the lucky winners. I’ll be back tomorrow with another special post. 🙂

Emily, your layout is awesome! And your li'l boy is such a cutie!!
I absolutely love how you used the stamps on your page. I thought you had used premade journaling paper until I realised it was the frame stamp from one of the sets. I love how you used the muted shades and patterns so they didn't compete with the bold colours and patterns in your photos.

This is such a gorgeous layout and a wonderful use of the stamps. As a scrapbooker primarily, I sometimes struggle with getting the most mileage out of my stamps but I admire the way you've put them to use. And seriously, you have one cute little guy there!
