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!

Now hop on over to the next blog on the list:
