I couldn't pass this challenge up considering that I had some wonderfully beautiful and BOLD GCD papers to work with from the "Cosette Collection". These paper designs also enhance any black and white photo perfectly! For this project I had a plain white photo mat from an older frame that I was using and I gave it a fresh bold new look by covering it with a piece of the "Simpicite" white and black damask print paper. I then layered this over my photo onto the larger print of the black and white "Elegant Floral" paper. I then used my Cricut to cut out the label frame, heart flourish and "One Love" title to add that extra touch of "simple", yet elegant embellishing pizazz! 
The photo that I used in the framed layout here is one of myself that my hubby had taken while I was pregnant with Amelia. It is probably one of my favorite photos of me ever. I was around 14 weeks pregnant at the time and I was HUGE, but I absolutely loved the way I looked and felt! Good memories... and I'm so glad to have this photo and equally glad to have it displayed so pretty now too! Well, I hope you all had a super fun and relaxing weekend... so hard to believe it's already through and now we'll be moving onto a new week. On Thursday we meet with a new High Risk Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist just to discuss various things that need discussed! We hope this will be a good meeting and that we can gain some insight as to what options lay ahead for us in our future endeavors... our quest to bring home a baby once and for all. Then I'm also really looking forward to Friday's crop that I'm going to where I'll finally be meeting up with the insanely awesome, Ellen... aka Howdee over at CMK! I don't often meet too many on-line scrappers, so I'm so excited to be scrapping and chatting with her this week....eeekkkk! Yipppeee! :D Hope everyone else has something fun to look forward to in your week as well... enjoy!
