11 Month Baby Layout

I think these were papers from my stash.  I used a Cuttlebug die for the butterfly and embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder.  The flower is a punch.  I used a really wide/thick stylus to shape it.  The tickets were a generic ticket stamp that I stamped my short words into, and those were from an alphabet stamp set.  The corners were punched.  The title was probably done with the Cricut, but it also might have been cut with alphabet dies.

Next posting will be the 1st Birthday pages, a 4 page layout.  The baby album is done.  But I will post them another day.

This is the first of two layouts for when she was 10 months old.  The bracket shape was done with one of the mini Lucky 8 punches that the LSS had.  I cut butterflies from the paper and popped them, and added a couple of die-cut flourishes.  They were a different brand of thin dies that I found at GASC awhile back.  I think the name is Marianne or something similar.  Sorry, I don't have time to look it up right now.

This is the second of the ten month layouts.  These two are among my favorites from the baby album I did.  I should list the paper manufacturers, but all of the scraps and papers are buried right now, and since new releases are about to show up on the shelves, I doubt anyone can find these anymore, anyway.  I really can't remember off the top of my head, so I hope it's not too important.

Baby Album Layouts continued......

This layout was made almost exclusively from just the background paper itself.  I found the paper last summer at the LSS, so I am pretty sure it is no longer available.  I think I got the last couple of sheets the store had, which means it was likely an older line.  The letters for the title were cut with the Cricut, and I used some Baker's Twine.  Other than cardstock, the embellishments were cut from leftovers of the paper and popped.

The LSS still carries this paper line, so it's relatively recent.  Again, the embellishment is pretty much just done with the papers, and the letters were cut with the Cricut.  I can't remember which cartridge I used for the font.  I will try to look that up and update later if anyone really wants to know.

The funny thing about these pictures is that this baby girl loves shoes.  She really, really loves shoes.  If she finds a pair, she wants them on, whether they are hers, her brother's, her mommy's, whatever.  I noticed, though, she seems to be barefoot more often than not.

Bee Card

A dear friend moved away.  We sometimes scrapbooked together and other times went shopping together for scrapbooking and stamping supplies.  One of those shopping trips was relatively recent, and I bought some bee themed stamp sets.  I also bought a honeycomb embossing folder.  We had gone to Hobby Lobby first where I bought a bunch of paper packs and some canvas ribbon for stamping on.  I already had some canvas bought from JoAnn Fabrics, so instead of the canvas ribbon, I cut and frayed a piece from my fabric piece.  Then I stamped on it with a stamp by Hero Arts (Art of the Card set).  The bee stamps I used are from two of Darcie's clear stamp sets (Day Is Sweet and BEEutiful).  The filigree brad in the center of the flower on the canvas is from Close to My Heart.  I used Copics to color the canvas.

For the inside, I stamped a few bees and wrote a corny little verse on the computer to go with the theme.

The card meant more to her because she recognized the stamps used as ones I had bought on our recent shopping trip.

More baby girl album layouts

Every year their family gets a picture taken among the Texas Bluebonnets.

I made the pink "flower" in the upper left corner.  The butterflies were originally white glitter.

I used pink Stickles to give color to the butterflies and added pink rhinestones.

The deeper blue papers are by Bo Bunny.  The lighter floral print is old paper from my stash.

She was the littlest flower girl for her auntie's wedding.

I think the papers were Anna Griffin.  Not sure.

The flowers were cut from the paper, and rubbed with ink.  They were embossed with

something that resisted the ink.  The blue flourishes were cut with the Cricut.

More Baby Girl Layouts

The paper is years old, from my stash.  The stamps I used were Close to My Heart stamps.

I used micro beads glued on with Glossy Accents to give the texture and dimension to the sun and title.

The background paper is at least a year old.  I don't remember who makes it, and I'm too tired to check.

Sizzix Butterflies and label were cut with Tim Holtz dies.  The Flourishes were also cut w/Sizzix dies.

I think these papers were also from my stash and were probably older.

Baby Girl album 5 month layout

This will be the last scanned image for awhile, although I will be posting more pages from the album.  I gave the album to the mother, and didn't have time to scan everything before I gave it to her.  I did take photos, but they probably won't be as good as the scans.

This is one of my favorite pages in the baby album I did for her.  The papers were in the Disney section at the LSS, but I  may have bought them awhile back.  The paper flowers were also in the Disney section.  It's been so long since I scrapped this one that it would take awhile to figure out the paper manufacturers.  If anyone is dying to know, you can ask.  Otherwise, I probably won't take the time to hunt the info down.
