My Brag Book

This is a cute little book I made to go inside my purse. There have been so many ask me for photos of my granddaughter that this book seemed just perfect for this.

On the spine of the book I used rub - ons to spell her name. This turned out better than expected! I have not used too many rub - ons in my day. I am sure that I will be using them more.

I won't post the rest of the photos but there are about 16 pages to hold lots of photos.

Oh, those Toes!

My daughter and I took footprints and hand prints of my granddaughter. Oh, were they so small. I knew I had to scrapbook them. My daughter looked all over the Internet and finally found some non toxic baby nail polish in Fargo North Dakota and had a few colors shipped here. so, when Novalee was sleeping one afternoon she painted her little toe nails. How adorable is that! Anyways, here is the layout I made of this occasion. Hope you enjoy it.

Acrylic Scrapbook

This is an Acrylic Scrapbook I made of my Granddaughter Novalee. Sometimes these can be challenging as you have to plan your pages so you can see through to the pages further back. There wouldn't be much point in using acrylic if you completely covered the album. I did paint the edges of the pages with White Daisy paint mixed with Blush Reinker to match the papers I was using (I love so much that I can do that!)I also used rub ons on the "spine" on the last page so that you can see them right through to the front.

Welcome Little One

I am so excited to be scrapbooking a new subject...my first grandchild! I never imagined that I would be so excited to have a new member of the family. I am sure I am going to spoil this one! I posted the other day the cover of her album and now I have a couple of layouts to put in it. I did have the absolute pleasure of being in the delivery room when my daughter gave birth to Novalee and these pictures were taken only minutes after she was born. What a great way to start her album!

Novalee's Baby Album

This is the front cover of my Granddaughter, Novalee's Baby album. This is a Close to My Heart's 12x12 Linen Album. I really love these albums. They are soft and very well made and will last a lifetime. I also love the new Snapease System that our albums are coming with now. You no longer have to turn out the back screws to add more page protectors, you just lift off the snapease strip and add the pages. What a time saving feature. I do put on an album cover to keep sticky fingerprints off the fabric and to keep dust off it too, (yes, I do have a dust problem.... I don't know how it accumulates so fast...LOL). Anyways, All supplies are Close To My Heart.

Baby Shower Guest Book

Here is the Guest Book I made for my Granddaughter, Novalee's, Baby Shower.

It matches the diaper cake and the baby book that I also made using the Key to My Heart Paper Packet. Novalee's Room is done in a POOH Theme so that is why the Pooh and quote are in the book. Each of the inside pages has a different photo of Novalee making some pretty faces. Sorry, she is just so cute, I cannot help but say that her faces are so darn cute!

Thanks for looking and make sure to leave comments, I love hearing from you.

Baby Shower Diaper Cake

My Granddaughter, Novalee's Baby Shower is on Sunday. I made this Diaper Cake for part of the decorations. It is made out of the Key to My Heart Paper Packet. I had also made my daughter a Baby Book made out of the same paper that I gave to her back in February to track all the progress of pregnancy and birth. I also made the guest book for the Baby shower out of the same paper that I will post in another post later this afternoon.
I did not have any instructions to make this, but i did remember seeing one somewhere in my blogging travels so I had an idea of what one should look like. I did use two different sizes of diapers that I individually rolled up and tied. Then i made a paper chain for the band around the diapers and added lace, flowers and some string pearls. I hope you like it.

This is a quick card that I made the other day.

Baby Miracles D1249
I guess I have Babies on my mind lately as my Daughter Amy is expecting my first grandchild. I can hardly wait to be a grandma! Anyways I made this card the other day. I also made one with a baby boy too! I colored the baby image with my prismacolor pencils. I just love the way you can blend these with odorless mineral spirits.
