Caution! Baby Cuteness Ahead!

Working with Scrapbook Circle September kit has so far provided me with a boy page, a more girl-y page, and a travel-ish page, and now a baby page.  I thinks that's a pretty nice variety of subject matter that I am getting from this month's kit! (And, I have another boy layout coming...so happy about this!)  But, when I saw this pretty pastel paper, I knew (for me) it had to be a baby page!  Luckily I still had one of these sweet photos of our Bella from her very first days with us.

Under the photo I added several layers of the pretty pastel patterns included in the kit and roughed up the edges a bit just to soften them.  I tucked in pieces of punched lacy goodness and part of a doily, stuck in/on a pastel pink tab or two (with that yummy gold trim, I couldn't resist those!!) and that pretty paper tassel.  More golden goodness!  This created the perfect place to add in baby Bella's name.

I added some cut pieces of doily, as well as some lacy punched pieces down the left side of the page to add texture and detail under a strip of the pastel stripe-y paper.

I just could not for the life of me decide on a title, so I made use of the gold "Love This Moment" sticker and made that my title.  Love when this happens!  All that was left was to just sprinkle on a few of the little hearts I had previously punched from the pastel stripe paper and a couple of the little gold heart stickers.  

Baby Bella cuteness in all it's pastel prettieness!  

TFL!

Testing, Testing.. Is this thing on?

Still having technical difficulties...I'm even thinking of switching to another platform.  But maybe after the first of the year...too much else going on right now to start another blog! 

Like scrapbooking! 

It's been so much fun to get back to making pages. Some are ok, some I love and some...well there are a couple that are "questionable".  I'll put them aside for a few days and take a fresh look.  They may have to be tweaked, or totally trashed and start over.    Here's something I created this past week using the Gossamer Blue June kit.  



So on to my "research".  The materials relate well together and yet are different enough that I can incorporate boy, girl or even travel photos (coming in a future post).  My personal test:  how much do I have to add from my stash.  (Not that there is any problem doing this...it's just kind of a benchmark for me whilst playing, er, I mean testing.  The only thing added on this page were the alphabet stickers. 

Details:  fringe cut the border under the photo (just used my regular scissors and snip, snip, snip) and I used two different scallop border bunch for a little added layer.  The flowers were fussy cut from one of the papers and there you go!  (You will have to supply your own adorable granddaughter getting her hair done!!!). 

best,
