This is my first posting of my own projects for a Design Team!! Whoo-Hoo!! Sorry, I'm excited and nervous all at the same time!
I'm auditioning for Graphic 45's 2012 Design Team! I love their paper the richness of the color and graphics gets my heart all a flutter! Those of you who I work with know I could not stop talking about The Magic of Oz paper I saw at Scrapfest in the Mall of America- I think I went on and on about getting it- haveing to have it and about finally buying it!! LOL!! Oh well we all have our obsessions mine is pretty paper and other various scrapbooking supplys....
Enough chatter on with the show-
Most of you know I create albums for my familys life events as gifts, they have loved all of them these include two wedding albums and three baby albums (1 girl, 2 boys), one of which I'm working on currently (boy). And I will be doing another here soon as my cousin informed me she's due in September, Yay Amanda!!
So here are a few of the pages I created for my Cousin Dusty and his wife Lorena's baby Elias. I believe some call these ploppers cause you can just plop the pictures on and the page is done.
The is paper by the Paper Studio
I can't recall who the embellishment is by.
I mostly do two page layouts for these albums
The paper and stickers are by Maya Road
My Cousin Dusty was a dinosaur nut growing up!
I believe the paper is Imaginescense?
Lettering from the Pooh Font Cricut cartridge.
Most of my pages have themes as you can see.
Others are just cute generic baby pages.
Ok, now a page of my own featuring my Nephew, Tyler.
