Showing Off

Daddy couldn't resist showing off a couple of cute outfits they had for N. The Indian maiden costume was bought with the intention of using it for Halloween, but as you can see, it fits quite snugly in April. No way that's going to work for Halloween! So cute, though.
This page features a leftover strip of decorative paper, edged with brown, and a cute rub-on.

The next page shows off our little bathing beauty. I have a great fondness for baby swimsuits, especially girls' suits. They are so teeny and cute! For this layout, I used more leftover papers (is it okay if I stop saying edged in brown?). A flower at the top left completes the layout.

Enjoy!

Having Fun

Here are a couple of fun pages. I love the background paper on "Fresh". I added a couple of leftover green strips to frame the photo, edging all the paper in brown. The word is a white sticker with a felt-like finish.

The bath time layout also features a fun paper. I used a small rub-on in the top left corner, and adhered the plastic duckie to the bottom right. Couldn't be simpler!

Happy crafting!

Precious Face

Who could resist that sweet little face? Looking at this picture makes me want to pick her up and get some sugar! N is about six months old here and learning to sit up by herself.

I had a little fun using up some scraps on this layout, layering as I went. I don't know if you can tell from the photo, but the pink strip to the right of the green paper is folded accordion style. I also used a small piece of sewing trim along the bottom of the picture.

The embellishment at the bottom is a clear acrylic piece, which can be difficult to adhere, because you usually don't want your adhesive to show. Sometimes you can do a work-around by hiding the adhesive under something that sits over part of your clear piece. I wanted this to stand alone, however, so I had to come up with something transparent. I chose to run this through my Xyron machine, which isn't my favorite adhesive, but works well for this type of use.

As I've been doing throughout this scrapbook, I edged all the paper pieces in brown. It's one of the ways I'm trying to tie things together.

Enjoy!
