Full Pregnancy Album

*** WARNING PIC HEAVY***

I finally just completely finished my Pregnancy Album. I had most of it put together but I though I would have a little more time after I had my son.  That is really funny!!! I have had much less time than I had imagined to work on my crafts. It kind of makes me sad but I'm making more time now. He is almost 4 months old and doing a lot better with picking things up and playing. 

I am going to post all the pictures of my book in order. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I used many many cartridges and I will try to list all of them at the end of this post. 

Here we go!!!.....

Cartridges Used:

9 Months

Baby Steps

Create A Critter

Don Juan

Everyday Paper Dolls

New Arrival

Plantin Schoolbook

Sweethearts

Treasure Box Designs

I hope you enjoyed this book and journey with me! I am now working on different pages for 2011 and my son's first year album. I am also working on my mom's wedding scrapbook and will post that when it is finished. I only have about 2 months to do it so I better get on it. 

Stop back by again real soon!!

First Airplane Ride

Hello Everyone!!!

Me and my son just got back home and settled from taking a little trip to see my Grandma up in Spokane! It was so much fun and needed to get away for a little bit. She crafts just like me and I was actually able to get 2 layouts and 3 cards finished while I was there. I am very excited about that!! I will be sharing them with you over the next few days!! 

Today I am going to start with the first Layout that I finished was. It is for my Sons first Airplane Ride. He did such an amazing job on the flight there and back. I was so impressed. There were people on the flight that didn't even know there was a baby on. It was great! I just got some pictures developed yesterday, So I will be starting to catch up on cards and Layouts. 

I used my gypsy to size and put everything together. It turned out great. And of course while I was there JoAnn's was having a great paper sale and so we were able to go there and get what I needed for this Layout :)

Baby's First Year Album

I made this book for my aunt for the baby's first year. It is not all my idea, I scraplifted the ideas from the Cricut Message Board before it changed to the new one. I am extremely happy with the way it turned out!!! There are lots and lots of pictures!

I used New Arrival, Don Juan, and Calligraphy for the entire book.

Thanks for coming by!!

Baby Shower Invitations

Hey There!!! I have been busy making lots of things. We had been waiting to see what my aunt was having, so while we waited I made her baby shower invitations for a BOY and a GIRL. It was fun!! 

So just went in on Thursday and found out that ITS A GIRL!!!! YAY!!! She really likes turtles, so I am making new invitations exactly like the boy one but with a pink turtle. She didn't really like the flower. 

This is the front of the Boy Invitations...

 This would be the inside...

 Front of the Girl Invitations...

 Inside of the Girl Invitation...

I am really liking how these turned out. I used Kraft Cardstock for the base of the card. Coredinations Cardstock in Frappuccino and Fern for the inside and front. The Onsie is welded together using Esmerelda {gypsy}, and cut at 5". The turtle on the front is from Create A Critter and cut at 2.40 on my gypsy.
