No boys allowed~

Not too often do I have a really have a hard time working with a kit.  While this super cute girly kit should be

very easy, it wasn't for me.  I had to go through files and files of old pictures (that need layouts) to find only girls in them.  Can you guess who takes all of the pictures.  Me, and I'm always taking them of the boys.  Guess Todd and I need to have a little girl. LOL!  No, we will not have another baby just

so I can work with girl kits.  :) 

Just need to take more photos are our friend's sweet little girls. 

Also do you see that little happy cupcake? My plan is the work on

it later today.  Just need to run to the store (out of ink). 

Now that I've gone on and on, here is where you can get this cutie called No Boys Allowed:

Now for my layout:
