Template Challenge 97: 12/31 - 1/13

frogfish · 12-30-2011, 09:37 PM

I am so excited to be hosting my very first challenge here on Mousescrappers!

My husband and I are expecting our 3rd child and my due date was December 29, so our baby will be here any time now! That means that I will be checking in on the challenge from the hospital for a few days after the baby arrives (using my phone). It may be hit and miss, but please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any problems or questions.

I created this layout for Scraplift #45 and decided to turn it into a template because I liked it so much; I hope you do too! I can't wait to see the masterpieces you create!

Congratulations Cristina! on your new baby!

Thank you for your kind words this early in the morning!!!

I decided that with all of the changes about to happen in my life that I would start with a template challenge but I'll be offering a Chef Mickey pp for the first weekly/scraplift challenge I host...as long as I don't get eaten alive on this one!

I hope everyone has a happy and safe New Year! Maybe I'll have myself a New Year's Eve baby!

Do you know if the baby is a boy or girl? I wish you the best with the new baby and I look forward to you hosting another challenge in the future. Love your work!

Wouldnt that be great to have the first baby of the new year in your town? I might be a nerd but I always thought it would be cool. My son was due on 12-25-98 and I was hoping he would make it to the new year.

your layout was very popular and I am glad you made it into a template! Can't wait to play

Nanie Scrapper · 12-31-2011, 09:36 AM

This was a beautiful Template to create a layout with so thank you again Christina.
All you need to do right now is take care of yourself and your new bundle of joy and don't worry about anything else

This is my take on the template, I hope you enjoy...

Wow Louise, you are fast! I love your layout!

We don't know if we are having a boy or a girl

; it will be a delivery room surprise just like our other two were!

We were kind of hoping for a December baby so we could get the tax break and still fall under the 2011 insurance deductibles but all of that is minor in the grand scheme of things (isn't it sad how money makes the world go around). As long as we are blessed with a healthy baby I'll be happy!

I am so happy for you! Best of luck to you and your family. Please update us all with your news.
