MemoryWorks "Life's Celebrations" Blog Hop sponsored by Simple Stories

Welcome to the MemoryWorks Blog Hop sponsored by Simple Stories!!

You are in for a real treat today... TeamWorks members got to choose which of the 4 new Simple Stories Collections ( Baby Steps, Happy Days, Generations, 25 Days of Christmas) they wanted to showcase for the Blog Hop. I chose the Baby Steps Collection. I usually gravitate toward bright and bold colors, but I just LOVE the antique look of Baby Steps.

I hope you enjoy my projects, and if you like.. follow my blog and leave a comment! One lucky commentor/follower will win a small prize, make sure somewhere in your comment you put the words 'MemoryWorks Rocks!"!! hehehe!

Now on with the Hop!

Here is a gift bag and accordion card, for a baby shower or birthday:

They are a little hard to see, so here are a couple of close ups.

I discovered paper fortune cookies on the 'For the love of paper' blog by Kimberly Crawford, and loved them! I thought they would make such a cute little extra gift at a baby shower. With a few special sentiments hidden inside of each! Pretty cute HuH! Here is a link to Kimberly's Fortune cookies and her tutorial: http://kimberly-crawford.blogspot.com/2008/04/pti-blog-hop.html

A layout of my Family... before ME!

I've been wanting to preserve this little handmade sweater and hat that my daughter wore when she was born. And I thought that the Baby Steps collection was perfect! This sweater was actually given to my MIL when my husband was born (before they new he was a he). Then she gave it to me when my Gracie was born. What an heirloom!

Thanks for checking out my projects, I hope you enjoyed! In addition to the little prize that I will be giving away, a prize will be given to one lucky commenter (from all the blogs along the hop). The more blogs you comment on the better odds to win!
