Congratulations Laurel and Welcome Home Lily Blog Hop

Good morning one and all! 

Today I am here with a very special post for my dear friend Laurel.

Laurel gave birth to her sweet baby girl, Lily Kate

on February 16th, premature, but Lily has been doing so well

that she was actually able to come home this past Tuesday!

Praise the Lord!

So a bunch of us girls who love our sweet Laurel decided

to put together a blog hop to show Laurel just how thrilled we are

over her new addition's safe arrival home. 

If you're hopping along, you should have come from 

Chrissie's amazing blog

where you will also find the full list of participants.

Here's my card for Laurel:

I used Lawn Fawn's newly released Home Sweet Home

stamp set to create my little scene.

Since Laurel is such an awesome Mama, 

I put her sitting right up close to her baby.

Laurel's hubby Christian is a helicopter pilot with the US Navy

so I made him be the one flying in. ;)

And for an added touch of whimsy, I used the 

little swoopy heart from Bee Mine for his flight trail.

I really hope she likes it!

Please hop over to Elena's blog to see what wonder

she's created -- she always blows me away with her talent!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

P.S.
