Thank you for visiting me today. I am so excited to share with you today's project. I created this project for my club which met this past Thursday. I made one of these for my husband for Father's Day but with completely different designer series paper. I loved the way it came out and how easy it was to put together so I created this one for my club members.
This month's hostess is pregnant so I decided to do a project that could showcase her newborn's pictures. I chose this color scheme because she doesn't know if she is having a boy or girl, so I thought this would be perfect. The other feature I loved about this mini scrapbook is that we added enough pages so that the mother-to-be could place a picture for each month of the baby's first year of life. Everybody loved it and added their own touch. I had lots of buttons, so I thought this would be a perfect way to use them up and used the faux stitch technique. Love it!
You will also notice that I cut out the top note die cut twice once in Riding Hood Red Cardstock and then in Sweet Slumber Designer Series Paper. Then, I took the designer series paper and cut out the outer scored layer and adhered it so that you have the dazzling outline of the cardstock. I also wanted to add a nice finished look to the mini scrapbook so I added a 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" piece of Riding Hood Red cardstock for matting. This is perfect for standard wallet size pictures that measure 2 1/4" x 3 1/4". I love it!!!
You can add as many pictures as you like by adding more pages. This is a perfect memento gift of your special celebration. Just put it together and send it off to your loved ones. How about one of a summer cookout or pool party with friends? Make one for each guest and have them take it home and place their own pictures in it. What do you think? I love it!
