Project Life - Gabriel

When Stampin' Up! first started offering Project Life, I was ecstatic. I thought "here is the answer to my scrapbooking prayers" and "this will save me so much time, I am sure to get caught up". Of course, both those things were true but it still took me a little while to get into the swing of things.

I ordered the Project Life kits as soon as they were available and they just sat in my craft room and stared at me, until this week that is. When I finally decided to do something with them. I am seriously lacking in the scrapbooking department lately...for example, today's post is Gabriel's newborn photos. He's two and a half. Oh well, better late than never. I apologize for the not so wonderful photos, I find it hard to get a good photo of the 12x12 divided pages close up.

Delicate Baby

Awhile ago I shared with you the baby book we made during our "Baby Scrapbook Class". The book was gender neutral and turned out just about perfect. A friend of mine, Lisa, made it as a gift for her nephew who was about to become a dad. Not too long ago, little baby Isla entered the world. Lisa wanted to do a little something to jazz up the outside of the scrapbook (now that we knew baby Isla was a girl) and made a card to go along with it, this is what I came up with!

 

 

 

I didn't do too much to the front of the book but I just love how it turned out! The new burlap ribbon in the holiday catalogue may be my favourite product right now, you can use it for so many different things!

Scrapbook Book Cover Ingredients
Burlap ribbon, Vanilla 5/8" flower trim, Blushing Bride pleated satin ribbon and a delicate doily

 

 

I am also loving how the card turned out (do I say that about everything I make?). Those doilies just make everything seem so pretty and girly!

 

Card Ingredients

Stamps: Itty Bitty Banners, Hearts a Flutter

Ink: Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Crumb Cake

Paper: Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Whisper White

Accessories: Delicate Doily, Small heat punch, Itty Bitty Banners framelits, Hearts a Flutter framelits, pearls, Pool Party button and ribbon (from sale-a-bration), polka dot embossing folder and Calypso Coral baker's twine

 

Happy Stamping,

Baby Scrapbook

Awhile ago I mentioned to you faithful readers that I had a baby scrapbook class with a few great ladies! We all made gender neutral baby books using Stampin' Up! supplies and I just love how they came out.

I am not going to share specific ingredients we used for each page as that would take forever but if you have any questions about any of the materials used, please let me know and I would be happy to answer them (be prepared for photo overload). I was conflicted as to whether or not to split the pages into separate posts or leave them together. In the end I opted to leave them together.

Front page with space for birth details.

This set (Fox and Friends) is retired but I just can't get enough of it, I think it makes the cutest baby things.

Grey and yellow is one of my favourite colour combos right now.

This turned out to be my favourite pages I think, you'll see I took a closer up of each page individually.

 

The ink splatter in from a My Paper Pumpkin kit and the words were printed on the computer and cut out with the modern label punch.

 

I had so much fun making this with the ladies, I hope everyone else did too! I hope to do another scrapbook class come fall. Stay tuned for more details.

 

Happy Stamping,

Elizabeth Emma

Neutral Baby Scrapbook Front Page

Tonight is the second installment of my baby scrapbook class! The last one went really well and we were able to complete a lot more pages than I thought we would be able to, so that is great! This is the first page in the book. I will share more with you when we are finished the class.

 

 

 

 

Stampin' Supplies

Stamps: Baby Prints, Hearts a Flutter

Ink: Crumb Cake, Versamark

Paper: Whisper White, Crumb Cake

Accessories: Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder, Hearts a Flutter and Labels Framelits

 

I found an awesome free font on pinterest (of course, where else do I spend my time) and typed out the birth information (name, weight, length, date, time, place) and printed it onto Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using the label framelit.

 

This book has been a challenge for me. There are 20 pages all together and all are gender neutral. I've really had to use my brain for this one, but it is good for me and I am always up for a challenge.

 

Happy Stamping,

Elizabeth Emma

Thank Heavens for Little Girl

I recently finished this 8x8 Baby Girl scrapbook for a customer. Some of the products are not from Stampin' Up!, please excuse this, I was using up the last few tidbits of things I had before I became a demonstrator.

This is the very first page in the book. I really like how cute and girly the colours are together, and I am loving my Framelits Dies. If you would like to check out more of the pages in this book please head over to my facebook fan page.

Stamps: I printed up the wording in "comic sans" font on my computer and printed it onto cardstock

Ink: None used, matched Wisteria Wonder on computer
Paper: Wisteria Wonder, Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Flirtatious Specialty DSP
Accessories: 1" Square Punch, Framelits Dies, Pink Pirouette Ribbon, Vintage Rose (past mini)



Happy Stamping,

Pretty in Pink ...

So my fellow stampers, I am so excited I am some things to share with you and I am pretty excited.

1. I have confirmed plans to participate in not one but two upcoming local Farmer's Markets/Craft Shows!! Yay! I have wanted to this for a long time and I am glad I am finally going to give it a go. The first one is in Palmerston, ON on August 27th, 2011 and the second is in Drayton, ON on September 17th, 2011. Check out my website for more details on these!

2. Not really needing to share this, but I placed a huge Stampin' Up! Demonstrator order today for all sorts of goodies, including a TON of things out of the new Holiday Mini. I cannot wait to share it with all you lovely people, I know it is only a "mini" but I have no doubt in my mind everyone will find something they love!

Anyways enough about me, please enjoy this scrapbook page I have to share with you today:

Isn't she just darling?! This is my niece, Madeline, the picture is older, Madeline is 2 1/2 now, but I just thought it went together so good! Now anyways, back to the actual page...what do you think?

I did this page with a bunch of ladies at a workshop recently, fairly new to stamping, so I didn't want to overwhelm them with too much detail.
This page measures 8x8. To make this page I started with a plain background of Whisper White Cardstock to really get the colours to pop out. Next I used the Flower Garden Embossing Folder on Blushing Bride. The colouful strips on the bottom of the page are Flirtatious Specialty Designer Series Paper in Wisteria Wonder (one of the new In Colours) and Patterns Designer Series Paper in Melon Mambo. The Doily sare from the stamp set Delicate Doilies and were stamped in Pretty in Pink and Wisteria Wonder. The middle doily was stamped using Versamark Ink on a scrap piece of whisper white cardstock. I sprinkled Embossing Powder in Melon Mambo (new in the Summer mini, and *yay* carried over into the new Idea Book and Catalogue) onto it and used the heat gun to emboss it. I then punched it out with the scallop punch and adhered it to the page with a Stampin' Dimensional.

Happy Stamping
