Safari Baby Album

Michelle asked me to make another friend of hers an album for her upcoming baby shower. The theme this time was Safari and mom and dad already knew the baby was a boy!!
Oh what fun I had with this project :-) Loved these colors and it was cool bringing in textures for an earthy feel!
I hope you can see all of them clearly.
The mom cried at the shower when she opened the book and to me that was a success on my part!
My next assignment is another baby boy album. Just waiting on the theme and then I can start :-)
Soo happy I can share these with you again!
Have a great Labor Day weekend!!!

I heart cookies

Yumm : ) I love chocolate chips, don't you?
The Paper Studio pp had printed 'love to bake' on it but I went with I heart cookies as my take! I used my Cricut to cut out the mitt ( From My Kitchen), then embossed it with my cuttlebug (favorite folder). I used red MS baker's twine and tied on a cookie jar charm (I've had forever) from Karen Foster. The heart brad is Basic Grey.
Now I'm off to go get some milk for my cookies :)

Think heat!

I am thinking heat!!! January weather is sooo cold and I am not loving it, I'll be honest with ya. This card is just for fun and to remind me we will thaw out soon!! : )

Stay Warm <3

Welcome

Ok, I made another layout but not the one I intended on making! The baby snail was staring at me waiting to be finished : ) lol!
Here is the 2nd and 3rd page of the album. The colors are a bit off in this photo,sorry.
I tried to tie it together as a seamless look with polka dot ribbon to keep the circles going. This is a much truer green shade in this photo.
The snail was cut from New Arrival out of textured paper from Core'dinations. Love this paper! The snail has felt on his ears for a fuzzy effect!
I mixed the title up using assorted chipboard alphas from my stash.

A storm is coming soon so I am losing daylight quickly : ( Does not make for quality pics. Off I go!
Thanks for leaving me comments : )

Day 1 - Born to be Wild!

I'm soo happy I decided to make a baby book for Michelle because I've found my way back to the scrapbooking world by doing it! : ) Baby gifts come natural for me so it didn't take much to get my juices flowing and jump on in!

I got another 2 pages completed for her baby boy book yesterday. Hope she likes it : )

Here is the themed bedding she picked out that I used as my inspiration for these next 2 pages:
The monkey blanket that goes with the nursery set gave me this idea:

The background has punched sage green circles (SU punch) to mimic the blanket design



random monkeys playing around on the page! The brads in their eyes look cute, don't ya think?


I've included 4 places to add photos of Chance, on Day 1!

A little journal spot to fill in his info too. The monkey brad is from Safari Kids by DCWV.

Monkey cuts came from the New Arrival cart for Cricut. Today I will be making a Baby Shower 2 page spread for the book. Wish me luck : ) My mojo is on its way back ! Woo hoo!!!

Color Challenge May 3rd

This week at The Outlawz Color Challenge all DT members used the same digital image to show how we all have unique styles.
Here is what we used as our inspiration photo (for colors):




Digi's With Attitude has supplied the Design team with a fabulous image to play with today. We were all given Tabatha and Tony to play with. Good thing too, because the color inspiration picture this week features our colors of Orange, Black or Brown, White and the Mahvelous May twist is to use twine on your project!

Here is my version:

It's hard to see but I added flock to the whites of their ears and pink to their noses and tan flock to look like a shadow. STabitha also is sporting a rhinestone necklace! Click on image to see larger version!
You have to see what the other DT members did-AMAZING,really. I don't colr with Copics but they do and they seriously belong in magazines or something!
Hope you are inspired by the colors and make something to share with us!
