That Special Dress

April 8th, 2009

It must be Easter coming that inspired me to do this layout.  Actually that and the fact that I had started half of it some months ago and didn’t like the feel of it then, so I just tucked it in a folder for another day.  Last night I was getting a bunch of scraps ready for printing and ack I have 38 to print since I last printed in February, anyway I was doing that and ran across the half page with Hannah in her dress so immediately I thought of Irene Alexeeva’s kit Pretty in Pink and thought that would be perfect for this dress!  So off I went and took a picture of the dress which is in the keepsake box, and away I went.  I had an awful time finding just the right font for the title but I think it turned out well.

I am sure every mommy has that “special” outfit they love from babyhood.  This is my favorite dress up dress, but I have not scrapped my favorite outfit so I am sure that will have to be next for a companion page.  I wonder why some items stick out and others don’t?  There are a few things that mean alot to me, which is rare as I tend to throw/giveaway items without much reserve, but I guess that must have changed with motherhood!
