Animal themed Baby Book

The other day my friend Chris and I got together to make this animal themed baby book for a family friend of his. I'd like to start by saying I've only made a few of these project scrapbooks before. So I stepped out of my comfort zone a bit and I had so much fun! Here's some of the pages in the baby book...

(no miss spelling on the title name the couples last name is Tager, so it's a cute play on the word.) :)

My friend Anna, loaned me these super cute QuicKutz dies that really added so much cuteness to the baby book. I really loved them!

The size of this Baby Book is 10 x 8

Not only making one of these cute books was a change for me, but theming was a big change. I very rarely do theme sort of items , but I stepped out and really enjoyed creating with a theme.

However, I would just like to say that I'm surprised the book ever got done that evening because we had so much fun LAUGHING and talking. I guess thats really what it's all about, the memories we create.

Have fun creating this year and try stepping out of your normal crafting routine to do something a bit different. You never know you just my love it! :)

Flea Market Chic Mini Book

Loving this new super cute mini book Flea Market Chic I got from my friend Jennifer or (J.P.) for short! :) I'm not typically a mini book girl, but this little cutie I couldn't get enough of.

Mine does look a bit different then the sample one if u click on the link Flea Market Chic but that's only because I'm not really a read the directions kind of girl. However this kit comes with the best directions I've ever seen, they are just not for me. :)

This mini book kit is simply over flowing with gorgeous embellishments.

The colors are heavenly and all the tags and tickets are so me.

I had so much fun staying up late and putting this little baby together and I'm looking forward to adding some of my favorite pictures.

These are just a few of the fun pages this mini book has .

The vintage sewing machine and typewriter are just so cute and add such a nice warm touch.

Loving my finished mini book, I have become a fan of them! :)

Thanks so much JP! :)

Today I am using Spellbinders S4-303 Crown Ovals die template and Donna Salazar's Smooch Spritz, paper, and corrugated board.

After cutting the die, I added Chestnut Roan Ink by clear snaps to all circles on the oval crown.

Now I added my Hello Kitty embellishments, flowers and soft green rhinestones by Kaiser craft to the center of the circles on the oval crown die.

I layer all my ribbon, paper, embellishments, on top of my Donna Salazar, corrugated board by Zutter and then the topping of the cake... My finished oval crown.

Then i cover my oval crown and Smooch Spritz the entire cover of my mini book to give it some extra added sparkle and shimmer.

The paper trim that looks like beautiful vintage lace is from the Donna Salazar paper line... I love love love all the great textures and patterns Donna uses for her papers.

The finished mini book project!

I also just got my bind-it-all machine in that I ordered weeks ago... so a little project book was a must! I also made my halloween page layouts already for my 2008 Halloween photos I'll post those pics soon.

I posted my Halloween Scrapbook on Etsy with several other pictures if anyone is interested to see please take a look! I love Cosmo Cricket!!!

Love Book...

I made this scrap book to keep special photos of Just my husband and I... our special little love book. It's a great way to remind me to take pictures of us and document fun things we do and not just the kids. I have done several pages and I'm having a lot of fun scrapbooking with the page size 6 x 12.
