Baby Scrapbook Just For You

I found this retired Simply Scrappin Kit called Just For You at my upline’s retired item sale. This kit was so cool–it even came with beautiful, wide, So Saffron ribbon!

Page 1 of the baby scrapbook I made. It turned out so much better than I thought it would. I’m a little rusty with scrapbooking–it’s been almost a year! Working with the kits is sometimes hard for me, because it’s a little stifling when you’re constrained to the contents of the kit. Normally, I use the paper and some of the self adhesive stickers (because they’re repositionable I love them!) but add my own twist on accessories. Once I got going with this kit, it came along pretty quickly!

Page 1 also incorporates So Tweet Chipboard and the Good Friend stamp set. I used the Top Note Die to create the “stats” area and an Ice Circle Rhinestone Brad gives the bird some bling.

On page 2 of the scrapbook, I used Thickers Alphabet Stickers in White to title. The squares along the top and bottom were made using a 7/8″ square punch.

Page 3 was made for the new baby’s Big Sister Emily. I used the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch and Thickers Alphabet Stickers in Brown for the title. In the center of the page, there’s a spot for journaling, which I made using the Kit’s self adhesive die cut rectangles and Certainly Celery ribbon.

I’ll post the rest of the pages, along with scrap maps, soon–check back in the next few days! WAIT TIL YOU SEE THE LAST PAGE!!!

Things I Love

This is a strange card. I was thinking about who I would give this card to, and the most logical recipient would be my husband, based on the sentiment. But, at the same time, what man is going to want and/or appreciate a card with shoes, chocolate, shopping, and pink sparkly things????

Now you see my dilemma? Oh well, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it, but for now, I’ll explain what I used to make this card.

Base is my FAVORITE Striped Kraft from Taste of Textiles, which is no longer available. And I only have 1 1/2 sheets left!!!! But I can’t obsess over that now. Stamp set is new, Things I Love. I stamped the images in Black Stazon, Black Marker, Melon Mambo, Chocolate Chip & Soft Suede markers. I used Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Basic Black card stock. I punched out the images with a 7/8″ square punch (non-SU), and mounted them on 1″ squares of Melon Mambo. That was then adhered to a black tag made using the Tag Punch. At the top of the tags, I used my Cropadile to punch a hole and added Square Fire Rhinestone Brads. I would have used the large ones but I was down to my last few small ones. The tags are adhered with a dimensional.

The paper piercer added some definition to the Melon Mambo layered behind Whisper White “things I love…”, which is mounted on dimensionals.
