New Scrapbook Layouts!!! YEA!!!!

I love this layout for the photo, a sweet little pile of piglets about 2 weeks old. We kept trying to make noises and wake them up but they slept. Right when we went to leave suddenly this little runt poked his way thru the pile and came out running to his mama for a feeding. It was the sweetest thing, we all wanted to take him home.  The layout came together pretty quick for me, knew I wanted layers since they were all laying on top of each other, knew I wanted masking tape and different color ABC letters. So glad I made a banner, need to do this lots more!!! I had a 12x12 of burlap from Michaels and cut that down as one layer and a cream colored sketch paper, there is a tag to pull out under it with the number 9 on it to show how many piglets there were. I used the masking tape as the adhesive to hold the photo in place. I also used some strands of the burlap for the banner. You can click on the image to see better.
I'm loving the kraft!! I rubbed chalk on the background to feel sandy. This was from last summer and it was one of my favorite times at the beach. I used a PL journal card cut in half and added a tag.
This is for my sweetie, he loves when I make layouts about his garden
I love this photo of baby Colt, so sweet. Filled it with lots of hearts and love!!

I was happy to scrap the last 3 layouts on mother's day and the piglet one is from yesterday. With me being sick last week, my goal of one l/o a day didn't happen. I'm determined to keep it up best as I can. My last 2 weeks of PL are almost done and will maybe just post them on Tuesday as usual. That whole week kinda thru me off and I don't have much to say or put into the pages.                              
The latest update on my health and what to do next is on hold till next month, my tests didn't come out clear enough to make a good decision the doctor says. For now I'm resting and feeling MUCH MUCH BETTER THEN LAST WEEK AT THIS TIME...HOORAY!!!  Happy Weekend!!          
p.s. thanks sooooo much for all the comments on my last post, loved reading them.!!!
