Mommy to-be in Disguise ~ SOUS Die Cut Challenge

Hi everyone!!!!  It's Friday and that means we have a new Die Cut challenge reveal over at Stuck On U Sketches.  This weeks theme was chosen by Co-Leader Leah and it is....

"MOM"

Use a die cut of

the word MOM, MOMMY, or MOTHER

or a woman...silhouette of a woman, etc.

(you get the picture)

I thought long and hard about what I would create for this challenge....  I told myself at the beginning that even though you can make any kind of project you want for this challenge, I was going to continue making scrapbook layouts since I am so far behind..... So, with that said I remembered this photo that my daughter uploaded on her FB page when she was pregnant with little Blake last summer...  Her friend (Stephanie) painted this cute little monkey holding a bar-bell (since she is a weight trainer) on her tummy and it turned out sooooo cute... and then I remembered the song "Judy in Disguise" by John Fred & His Playboy Band and well, you can see the results...  I'm really happy with it.  This will be added to little GS Blake's Album....

Here are a few close ups....
