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!!!

Happy New Year!

It's a new year and what better way to start things off than to welcome a new baby into the world?! My hairstylist, Michelle, is expecting her first baby, a boy, who will be named Chance in February! I decided to make her a 12x12 scrapbook that she can plug the photos in once he arrives. I am having a hard time with the first page so I jumped ahead to the "bath time" layout! I looove making baby books so much!
The two patterned pages shown here are from the Baby Boy DCWV stack. I cut up 2 other pages to get the fishy strips as a border.
The title bath time is cut from New Arrival with my Cricut. I added my fav - MS glitter to the bubbles!



The blue wavy paper is made with my Creative Memories border trimmer. The pp is from the same DCWV stack.


The q-tips and other dimensionals are Jolee's boutique.


White rick rack is along bottom edge to frame it.



Close up of fishy glittery border!

That felt great to make! I'm a bit rusty because it's been sooo long but hope to stay in touch with you again : )
Have a great Monday!!!

The next card is the Butterfly one (p 70)....in honor of my mom. May she rest in peace.
The 4thand final published card is an oval shaped card called Grow (p. 77)with a butterfly faintly in the back! I couldn't resist! : )
I messed up the order sorry!
