Instant scrapbook baby boy- Hester

Anna giffin makes this paper lace (peyton collection). I thought it was befitting this layout about his first valentine's day. In my family we give our babies vday cards and they go in the keepsake box. It's a nice tradition and a way to show love. The paper lace is attached with spray adhesive to brown bazzill cardstock. The blue layer is hand cut and adorned with faux stitiching made with my zig millenium pen. The scallop square is DCWV as well. I love these chenille brads from Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker and had to add them in red to this layout. The adhesive alphabet was in my stash. Lastly, I added a journaling block 6-min scrapbooker with a 100% boy dimensional sticker. Not too girlie and gets the point across. All we need is a picture of Harrison & journaling to complete the page.

First Thanksgiving. The title says it all! While I suspect there are many layouts about Christmas in scrapbooks, I think there's not as many about Thanksgiving, an important holiday as well. I had to ad bling to this little boy's scrapbook (whether he approves or not!) because it just added that necessary amount of pizazz. I love my stampin around from Stampin' Up. It's a handle that holds jumbo round stamps so that I can roll out my design while the ink is constantly added. I tried my best to get it straight this time... I used orange ink from a third-party company. The cornucopia was cut from Cricut Cartridge Paper Doll dress up (I think...) The base and accent pages are Bazzill, the mat is DCWV adhesive mat stack Neutral.

My 6-year-old daughter Zora is really into art and into crafting. She assisted with this layout by hand coloring all of the fruit in the cornucopia. She used a variety of markers including Copics. It was her idea to add the glittery pumpkin as well. I think she will definitely be working for me soon... she wants to desgin some cards to sneak onto my vendor table to see if anyone would buy it. I just might give her that chance!

Instant Scrapbook Baby Boy - Back cover

As continued from last time, here are the last page of the scrapbook. I added this extra page into the back cover of the album. This space is for a handwritten note to the baby about his effect on the family during his first year of life. These are the intangible details that will mean the world to the child once he grows older.

I used paper from EK Success Over the moon press called classroom stripes. I embellished with a scallop 6x6 square from DCWV, glitter stickers from my stash, and small square stickers from 6 min scrapbooker - baby boy.

Simple, with a strong message and strong impact.

As continued from last time, here are the next page of the scrapbook. First Thanksgiving is a family affair and how better to remember it by creating a scrapbook page for the baby's album.  Here I used 6 min Scrapboooker - family for the paper and most of the embellishments. However, I added a 3D sticker from Recollections - Happy Thanksgiving at the top of the page.

I love the Stampin' Up! stamp around products. The stamp is a wheel that attaches to a handle and loads special ink so that it continues the pattern as long as you roll the stamp. This particular stamp is called Bright Blessings. The ink is called Old Olive. The page has a grown up look which will help highlight the family generations that will spend time with the baby and the colors of this special holiday.

I love this lage font called "hip chip" by KI Memories. It's from their birthday set of chipboard adhesive letters. The mat stack is DCWV nana's kids - baby boy and the remaining supplies are from 6-min scrapbooker baby boy set. I find it fun to mix colors, patterns and coordinating embellishments to create a fun whimsical layout.

I love simple, clean layouts. Less is more in this case...

As continued from last time, here are the next page of the scrapbook. This layout will show the first meeting between the new brothers. These are my favorite male oriented sticker font. Thickers makes it and it's a leather look and feel, Although it is self-adhesive, it doesn't seem to hold on because of the thickness.

Instant Scrapbook Baby Boy - Cover and Page 1

It's been quite a while, but let's just say life and clients got in the way! I'm delighted to be back and to share a project I created for a baby shower gift. A friend of mine wanted to give her sister-in-law a very personal, yet useful gift for her second child. What do you give to the person who already has all the big baby stuff? That's right...an instant scrapbook so that she can easily record her new baby's first year.

This was quite an undertaking because I had never created a scrapbook without pictures before and was very nervous about creating pages that forced someone to use pictures of a certain size etc. But I quickly got over it and created a product that I am very proud of. And it was very well received by the mother-to-be so mission accomplished!

The album is by Recollections. It's a boy is printed on Bazzill basics white cardstock and cut at 10" with my Cricut Imagine Nursery Tails cart. The font stickers are from my stash and the foot and hand prints are from Stickopotomus. Finally, the blue button stickers (that remind me of that candy that came stuck to paper strips when I was a kid) is from Clear & Simple Stamps in the color called Your style blue me away.

I wanted the first page to showcase the family the baby was being born into. I pulled out the autumn leaves 6-min scrapbooker family set I purchased from Wal-Mart some time ago and found the perfect coordinated items, such as a journaling block, ribbon, embellishments, etc. for this page. DCWV adhesive mat stacks are the best for quick placement of pictures.

• Our family - chipboard stickers - autumn harvest collection
• family names in black - EK Success sticko dimensional font stickers
• mom's name - mark richards crystal stickers - crystal script alphabet
• Best occasions metal dots
• DCWV adhesive mat stack (neutrals)
• creative memories corner rounder
