Paper, vellum, and brad were created by me. Brush from http://missm.paperlilies.com. Fonts (mistral, kayleigh, and the word "Home" - rasterized it so dunno what font type it is) from dafont.com.
Flower from Google some while back. The flower went through the colored pencil and underpainting artistic filter. Before the filter it went through some heavy curves, hue/sat, and channel mixer.
The "Home" went through a few filters that I can't remember, brush strokes and sketches. Both the "Home" and the flower were done in the filter gallery.
Photo is of our daughter, it has gone through some adjustments also.
Layout story: home is where we're stationed. Though Missouri is lovely it's not quite home. We haven't found home yet but home is where our family is stationed at. No matter where we are though, we'll make the best of it and we'll be happy till we find that place we can call home.

Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

Your daughter is so beautiful. Letter on vellum is subtle and serves to effectively frame and show case photo. Flower is a nice touch. What a precious message for a darling daughter.

The page is gorgeous, the picture is gorgeous, your daughter is beautiful and your journaling makes me want to cry! How lucky she is to have the two of you and how lucky you are to have her!
You married a military man and I am so thankful there are men out there who do what he does! I am also thankful there are women who love those men! I pray for you all!

Thank you everybody for the wonderful comment. I wasn't expecting this many viewers within a few hours of posting! I need to get my stamping up... it's just so much easier to upload a digipage than my cards. Also a lot of my stamps are packed up... we're in the middle of moving :\
