I have gone out of my comfort zone, and once again have entered a layout contest!!  This one is at theStudio.  I wasn’t sure I would be able to even get a layout done for this week.. But I did!!  And that was because I had the most incredible inspiration arrive on Wednesday this week!!

Can you guess what it is??  You probably can from the title of my post!!  My GodDaughter Camryn Emelia Zallas arrived sometime around lunchtime on Wednesday, September 1st.  She is so beautiful I just had to make a layout, and the tones and colors of the first pictures ever taken by her wonderful mommy, were a perfect match for the kit we had assigned for this challenge.

Once I knew what pictures to use I went hunting for my inspiration.  This is a no template allowed challenge!!  This layout just screamed at me:

I thought it would be a wonderful, subtle way to highlight all the wonderful elements to the kit we were assigned to work with.  I then took the kit preview:

To inspire me further.. But I was so surprised, when in the end, my layout became something that was completely my own!!

So without further ado, here is my entry:

Hopefully you will be able to vote for me this weekend!!
