Life is a very Special occasion

This is my entry for the July Word challenge at Ready, Set, Scrap inspired by Kirsti.

July Word Challenge - set by Kirsti Brandis

For this month's word challenge Kirsti would like you to create an item using the following word

"SPECIAL"

and I want to see
layering
at least one rubon
and the colour orange in there as well.
Can be any scrapped item

Here's Kirsti's example:

Here is my entry:

My take on the challenge, pic of me holding baby Kiera in the Austin hospital, whilst visiting my mum.

I have covered all criteria:
1. Used the word "special" in title
2. Layering = matted photo and cardstock
3. rubon = journaling tag
4. used the color orange

The journalling reads:

2009
Our baby Keira
arrived. Mum got
so sick we thought
she wasn't going to
make it :(
It made me
realise: "Life
is a very special
occasion"
Mum is so much
better now!!
