Baby Girl Scrapbook

Before I get started, I need to say that NATURE is out to GET ME!  As I was writing this post, I opened the front door to let the cat in, and a BIRD flew in the house!!!  I let out a blood curdling scream, and a "THERE'S A BIRD IN THE HOUSE - THERE'S A BIRD IN THE HOUSE"!!!  Hubby came running downstairs thinking there was an intruder.  He grabbed a towel and a box and went chasing after the bird.  It was flying from room to room, and I flew into the bathroom and locked myself in there!  Every time I peeked out, I saw Hubby running from room to room waving a towel - yelling for me to help - but I couldn't do it...and the bird would fly towards the door, and I would shut it as fast as I could.  Finally (after 15 minutes), hubby got smart and pinned the bird down under a tennis racket, scooped him up with the towel and set him free.  I am SUCH a chicken!!

OK - back to the post, sheesh - such excitement around here!!  So, awhile back I made a custom scrapbook for a baby girl, Zoe.  I wanted to go for more of a shabby chic look to go with the decor of the nursery.  I had a lot of fun with this, and added a lot of texture with tearing paper, velvet images, glitter, dry embossing and ink distressing.  The mom was so happy - and I was happy that she loved the custom gift!!


















 Love this one - definitely one of my favorite projects ever!

All done - Complete Baby Boy Scrapbook!!

Well, hello there!  I am so so so excited with the way this baby book came out.  I'm about to inundate you with photos, I will apologize in advance - I am just so proud!!  LOL.  This book literally started with two chipboard covers and a bunch of paper.  Everything here is hand cut, scored, sewn, assembled, covered, glued and tied.  I even wrapped the chipboard covers and lined the insides like a real book.  Love doesn't even begin to express how I feel about this book - you would think I was actually talking about a baby, right?  The only thing I have to do before delivering it is to add photo corners to all of the mounts so that the mommy can just slip her 4x6 photos in.

Ok - ready??  Here is my love:
























What do you think?  I adore it - now I have to get to work on two more...whew - that was a lot of work, but so worth the outcome!

Have a great day!!
