Default Simply Sweet Oh Baby

I just had to come here and tell you that I just have spend a good hour reading the latest SSD magazine - it is fantastic! And I am not pregnant, my babies are no babies anymore and we are not planning to have another baby either. Thanks to everyone for their contributions, I cried and laughed with you!

It makes my heart feel all googly; I love reading your stories and the pages are just so fantastic! I am very glad you started this thread, Nathalie, or else I probably wouldn't have bought it.

It was my first time to ever purchase and/or see the pub and I am in love. All the inspiration is just amazing! I will be looking back at it for months and months so I can read everyone's journaling. Thanks for all you put into it girls, Robin, CT, designers, everyone! It is wonderful and Simply Sweet is definitely a must have on my list from now on!

You should go back and read the other ones..I LOVED our premiere issue and the travel issue was just as fab!

I was not excited about doing baby but warmed up to the idea and I just love how the issue turned out!

TY for posting this I love warm fuzzies

This is my fave issue by far! It's amazing and I need to take some time and go through and read every bit since I only got to skim through yesterday in the DSD madness.

Awww girls I'm so glad you liked it! I was on the pro-baby issue side and pushed hard for it and I have a 5 and 3 year old! I know there's still baby pages *I* need to go back and do and this was the perfect inspiration for it! Heck, I even did a LO of my dad as a baby and one with Patrick and I as babies too! Definitely a must have!

I can't afford to buy it yet. I have bought all the others the day they came out. Maybe next weekend, but that makes me feel bad cause it won't be on sale anymore. I like a deal. lol

I'm so happy that everyone is liking it. I was excited about contributing to the magazine for my first time but actually had a very difficult time creating my page. The page I made is something that was very difficult for me to go through and scrapping about it was very therapeutic. If it weren't for the magazine I porbably would have never got it done. Cheers to everyone!

It is really an amazing issue. I just went quickly through and also have to take time and read every journaling. There's lot of inspiration (I've already noted some ideas I definitely must use on my next pages) and have you seen those hybrid projects?

Renee, I stopped by your page and read it, it must have been difficult to scrap this but I think it's a REALLY great page.

I'm in awe - simply sweet is... simply the best

Corey - i LOVE those pictures too, so so much! Dani Mogstad actually took them for me and I am SO SO grateful for them, it is something I'll cherish till i'm old and grey!

I felt the same reading, its sad to think i'll have no more babies, but moving too, because I feel so tremendously blessed!

Thank you for the complement on the boys! they are my little charmers!

Beckie, a LOT of us as staffers were sorta lukewarm on doing a baby issue because our babies are a bit older now and EVERYONE scraps babies, but I gotta tell ya, this issue is brilliant & so moving! Because we encourage everyone on the team to create for each issue no matter what their current situation is, I think we got some great inspiration because those of us without babies in the house had to revisit memories from when we were pregnant or had a new baby. Oddly enough, it made this issue really applicable to EVERYONE because it's inspiring to think that we CAN go back. We don't always have to scrap what happened this week or last, but can instead scrap what happened 10 years ago too!

This issue is our biggest yet and the hybrid section is HUGE with lots of great projects that can be altered for any occasion.

You guys will love this one... promise!

ugh! I have been reading a layout here and there just for writing inspiration. I get writer's block and reading anything can sometimes get me back in the swing. However, now I am crying. These layouts. Oh em gee....so amazing. So heartfelt. You girls are simply amazing. I can't even put into words how remarkable this issue is. If you haven't snagged it, you have to. So inspiring. It has truly shown me that I have many, many things I need to document for my children about their infancy before it is all lost. My babies are 18, 16 and 12 so, I better get on this. What a wonderful gift to give DD #1 when she leaves home. A book about my pregnancy, her birth....awww......darnit! Tears again.

Now, off to grab more kleenex.

This is the first issue of Simply Sweet that I have bought...and boy am I glad I did. It's absolutely beautiful! All the layouts are so beautiful. Great ideas as well. I had a lot of laughs and tears this weekend.
The one that hit closest to home and really touched me was Traci Reed's Learning to Fly layout. It totally inspired me...so when I finally start my Book of Me, I will definitely be including my similar story in there.

as if the baby fever wasn't bad enough ... I went and read this article. I can relate to SO many of the pages, they brought tears to my eyes as well. I have definitely been inspired to make some pages and some hybrid projects

I know it's a lot of work to turn out a high quality e-mag... and Simply Sweet is my favorite to the point and thank you so much for doing it!! It's very inspiring and I have to admit, that I return to each of the mags regularly through out the months, where others (don't mean any disrespect), I flip through to never look at again... seriously thinking of stopping those.
