Our newest little addition

February became a very busy month here at To Be Designs.  But not with scrapbook projects.

On February 16th, we welcomed our newest addition.  The littlesthead was born at 6lbs 5oz.

Big Brother has been a big help with little brother.  It's moments like these that I'm looking forward to creating new scrapbooking projects in order to document them. 

Keep an eye out for inspiration that I'll be using on my new projects.  The first Close To My Heart product I'm looking forward to using is the new Canvas Lagoon Chevron album!
