my little baby Chubby Cheeks

... do you know what I mean? check out those cheeks!!! ...

I just can't beleive that my Great Niece is already 10 months old!! She will be walking in no time!! I visited my sister last week to get some photos of the baby, and we had made this little scrapbook. All the supplies used to make this book are from Little Yellow Bicycle, they have the coordinating lines for a baby girl and a baby boy (including this chipboard album!!). It took us about two hours to make it, and the most that time we spent trying to decide which photos to use ;->

I took photos of all the pages, enjoy!!













Only the buttons on the front cover are not from Little Yellow Bicycle, but everything else is!! The chipboard album measures approximately 6" x 6" and comes with six blank pages in different shapes. The 6" x 6" paper pad comes with the die cut designer papers that fit right onto the pages, no exacto knife required!! Other paper and the embellishments (tags, corners, borders, etc.) are from the larger, 8" x 8" paper pad. I also used a set of chipboard stickers for the embellishments.

Oh, and all of the supplies used to design this scrapbook are available for purchase at Cranberry Hill Mercantile, just give them a call at 408-736-9151 to place your order.

Hugs!!

"Bath Time" Scrapbook Layout

Paper from Basic Grey is my long time favorite. See the paper in the middle of the layout with the big dots? It is actually the paper from one of the Christmas collections, and those dots are suppose to be snowballs.. I just thought they also look like bubbles ;).

The "rubber" duckies look so real, I just love how they are shiny with the sparkles inside, CUTE-CUTE-CUTE. The title was cut with Tear Drop cartridge on my Cricut machine.

I will be teaching a class on this layout at Cranberry Hill Mercantile. Tentative date for this class is Tuesday, June 24th from 11 am to 1:30 pm.

This layout is available for sale in my Ebay Store, click here.

"Smile" Scrapbook Layout

Remember the "Sweet Girl" page that I showed you about a week ago? Well, I used left over embellishments from the "Sweet Girl" page plus added some more to create this one..

I used Bazzil Cardstock and decorative paper from Basic Grey. This layout has one photo mat for a 5" x 7" photo.

I hand drew the templates for the hearts, and cut them out of the decorative paper.

I cut the chipboard frame to make the corners. Large layered silk flower is from Prima (can you tell I LOVE these?). There is also a rick rack ribbon on the right side of the page, it came with the flowers!!

Cranberry Hill Mercantile now carries Basic Grey line of papers!! And tones of paper from other companies, have you seen their Paper Room?? Come and check them out!!

"My Sweet Girl" Scrapbook Layout

I really like how this 12" x 12" pre-made scrapbook page has turned out. The Basic Grey paper and chipboard embellishments from Me and My Big Ideas seem to go together so perfectly.

All paper layers are backed on Bazzil Cardstock. All layers besides the photo mat have been machine stitched. The photo mat measures 5" x 7".

I cut the chipboard frame to make the corners. Large layered silk flower is from Prima.

I am getting ready for some new classes at Cranberry Hill. There will be one with the Gift Card holders and one with the Gel Cards. I will list my new creations within a few days.

There are still a few days left to participate in my Blog Candy, details here.

"Love Bug" Pre-made Scrapbook Layout

This is one of 12" x 12" pre-made scrapbook layouts that I've made a few months ago. It can be used for any occasion "girly" page. It is very bright and cheerful.

About two years ago I started using my sewing machine on my pages. I just LOVE-LOVE-LOVE how it changes the feel of the layout.

All printed paper is from Basic Grey, Bazzil Cardstock on the back of the page and back of the photo mats. Title cut with my Cricut. I love to layer my letters, I think it totally adds to the look.

Flowers are also from Bazzil. If you look at my latest postings, you'll notice that I use these a lot...

Cute lady bugs and flowers are 3D Embellishments by Jolee's. I cut the "grass" by hand.

Pre-made Scrapbook Page - Baby Girl

Here is one more pre-made scrapbook layout. This one looks so soft and beautiful and is a perfect first page for the little baby girl's scrapbook. It will also look great framed on the wall.

It is kind of funny that I've been making all these pregnancy and baby pages, and now my niece is pregnant. She is due in July. I will be a Great Aunt!! They think that it is a boy, but it has not been confirmed by any of the Ultrasounds so far. Since I have a son, I really want a girl!! But I'll be happy either way. Just want to know if it's a boy or a girl so I can start shopping. It's time to start spoiling the little one!

I used patterned papers by DejaViews and Designer Chipboard stickers by Mambi. Patterned paper has been machine stitched to the background Bazzil Cardstock. I added large and small gold brads. Large flowers are from Bazzil and the smaller ones are from Prima.

Pre-made Scrapbook Page - Baby, I already Love You

I am teaching a class today, no time to stamp. I thought I will share another one of my scrapbook pages.

This is a pre-made 12x12 scrapbook page. I used patterned papers and cardstock stickers from Karen Foster. The patterned paper is machine stitched on the top of Bazzil Cardstock. Orange flowers are from Bazzil, the little white ones and the large orange one are from Prima. There are gold brads inside of the flowers, and the one in the top left corner has a button in the middle. Embellishments are raised on dimensional. This page will hold one 5"x7" and one 4"x6" photos plus you can use the small mat for an additional photograph or for the journalling.

This layout is available for sale in my Ebay Store.

Little Fish Scrapbook Page

I am not only into designing cards, I am into other paper crafts as well (hence the name of my blog). Including scrapbooking... And on my blog I will share all of my paper crafting projects with you.

Here is the pre-made scrapbook page that I first designed about 10 months ago. It is available for sale on my Ebay Store , I have probably sold about 35-40 of them so far.

I made this page with various patterned papers. I used Bazzil cardstock for the background and machine stitched the patterned paper to it. Fish stickers already had glitter on them (perfect!!) and I adorned them with googly eyes and raised on pop-up dots. The letters for the title were cut with my Cricut machine, and the smaller letters are the stickers from Basic Grey. There is a double mat for a 5x7 photo and a smaller one for journaling or an additional cropped photograph.

This layout looks SO MUCH cuter in real life!! I've seen it framed, looks great that way. It can be used for baby/toddler bath photos, photos taken at the beach or by the pool, or even photos of your fish pet ;) .

:) till tomorrow,

Irina
