Hello Everyone! Donna here, your host for the blog today. With Mother's Day just around the corner I thought it would be fun to share a layout documenting the birth of our third son, Samuel. Obviously, as the mama to three boys I love the Awesome collection, but I wanted to show you how versatile all of the collections are by sharing a layout I made using Fabulous.
One of the things that I love about Simple Stories is their inclusion of the Simple Basics Designer Cardstock papers with each collection. These are double-sided patterned papers that coordinate to each collection, but also come with a neutral side that feature patterns like ledger prints or text. The patterns of the Simple Basics papers are also more subdued, making them perfect for a variety of topics.
So even though Fabulous may have been designed with girls in mind, it was the perfect fit for this layout featuring photos of me and my sweet baby Sam.
As a bonus today, here are three cards I made recently - also using Fabulous.
Though it may be a bit early, Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there!

So adorable! (The LO and the baby!) I think the nuetral cardstock is perfect for this LO. It doesn't overwhelm the picture. It is perfect!
Your cards are so cute too! I love the butterflies!!
