"Joy" & "Samuel" - Simply Sketches Week 17 Bonus Sketches

Both of these layouts are from the Simply Sketches Blog. They are Week 17's Bonus Sketches... great sketches! If you haven't been over to check them out... please do! Also check out the Simply Scrapping Community!!

"Joy" is about the joy of living.... how seeing something like a newborn child holding his father's finger for the first time can bring such joy, as well as a brand new baby himself... but most of all joy is living life.

"Samuel" is a layout I did based off of the second bonus sketch for Week 17 about baby Samuel, my friend Beth's newest baby. I love this picture of him... I am so happy with how it turned out. The journaling has all of the information from his birth.
