This one I intend on it being the last page since it's only a single page. I found some dinosaur paper at my LSS and I fell in love with it and wanted to use it in the baby book. All boys need dinosaurs in there books....

Rocket Man

Saw this paper at my LSS and I had to have it! I like how this page turned out. I didn't use any cricut on it. I got it my LSS. Not much more to explain on this one....lol...I will say that it was quick, easy and i had fun making it!








































































































Old Man Winter

This one is another one that was hand pieced. My husband was making fun of my snow men because of there big noses.....(must remeber to remove hubby's blog from my list......lol.....Just kidding hmmmmmmmmm or am I?!) I saw this layout somewhere, I don't remeber wished I did I would love to give them credit for the idea, anyways I thought it was soooooooooooo cute and I had to do it and I'm glad I did. Even though hubby laughs at them and makes fun of those poor lil snowmen that didn't do anything to him but be cute. I like them just the way they are, big noses and all. I don't have Graphically Speaking so I made the word "CLOD" on DS (that's about all I can do on ds......oh and I can weld words...lol) with plantin Schoolbook.
( this one is starting to become my go to cartridge) the snowflakes I used Joy of the Season and then I lightly sprayed them with snowy nights glimmer mist. It gave the snowflakes a little shuttle of shimmer with a pale blew cast on it. It actually made the snowflakes pop off of the page. I happen to like how this page turned out. Below you will find the single shots.














Now this layout I had so much problems with! The paper itself was soooooooooooo dark it was hard to match. The dump truck that's the dump truck from HELL!!!! I had so much trouble piecing it together that I almost threw it in the trash! I stayed with it and finally got it to work. Sorry that it's a little blurry. You'll just have to trust me on how bad my nerves were after putting that lil' dump truck together. I used Tear Drop for the words It's a boys life. I know you can't really see it unless you click on the pictures and then I hope you'll be able to see, but inside the diamonds I had some brads that matched the paper and I put them on. I do however like how this page turned out. Even thought I wantted to toss the dump truck. After finally fighting with the sump truck it was worth it, I think it added just the right touch to the page. And again here's the single pages, maybe you can get a better look at the brads.


















Awwwwww Valentines day, the day of love, couldn't resit on putting some bears in the baby book....what is it about bears and babies? They seem to go hand in hand....kinda of like srapbooking and chocolate....lol. The heart and letters, I made that with printing press, the bears were hand cut and pieced together. The two tags I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. I had some valentine 3d stickers that I put on and the paper was some that I got at my LSS. I should of wrote down the names of all the papers that I used but I wasn't blogging when I made these....
And here are the single layouts.

















This is just a baby page that I made. I do like to personalize them with the baby's name on them. I think it give it that added touch to let them know that this was made just for them. The airplane and clouds where made with New Arrival....The ribbon I had in my stash.....(I've have lots and lots of ribbon) the heart and all boy were some rub ons that I had used on a prier layout I think it was the layout that was "little one" and then had "miracle".



Single layouts









Here's a Daddy & Me page. I put in a Mommy & Me page so I had to put a Daddy and me page in
there. The paper was some I got last summer and it worked for this page. You can't really see it but on the circles I added stickles. The emblishments were from Bo Bunny (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE BO BUNNY) the circle i cut was from George and I think i used George for the letters as well but don't quote me on that. And Again you can see the single pages below.


























Gots to have a St. Patty's Day layout. I'm sure there isn't much to do with a baby's first St. Patty's but maybe dress him up in green and put a little shamrock on him and a hat.























AWWWWWWW bath time, this layout turned out cuter then I expected! I used the New Arrival cartridge for the ducks, bathtub, bubles and words. The duck paper I found it at Hobby Lobby and it worked wonderfully with the layout. The card stock and stripped paper I got at my LSS... I'm so lucky my favorite LSS moved and now there only 6 blocks from me.....trust me I know it well.....lol











































This one turned out better then I could of asked for it to. I like it very much....again, i'm not sure what paper i used it was in the baby line at my LSS.



I used a stamp from friskers for the baby information and I used a templete that I have to draw the lines on the rectangled paper. The baby carriage and the little oneies and word were rub on that I had. I think the cartridge for miracle was Jasmin and little one I use Alphalicous. The ribbon was some I had left over. And of course the lil cutie in the pic is the baby that this book is for.

Single layouts.














This layout has Anna Griffin emblishments on it, some rub ons that I bought awhile back and the paper i got at my LSS.








































This is another layout that I just don't like the color of the green. It was another hard one to match. the lil' saying I typed it on the computer on card stock and matted it. I can't remeber what cartridge that I used for the tags. I know it wasn't Tag, Bags Boxes and More, because I didn't have that cartridge when I made this one. The paper is from DCWV Nana's Nursery. THAT'S THE NAME OF THAT PAPER LINE!!!!!!!!!!! I knew I'd remeber it eventually. Dang now I'm thinking that maybe I need a V-8....lol.....





































This One Will Be the First Layout in the Album


This is the first layout that you will see in the album. I used the New Arrival cartridge for the rattles and I think I used I wanna say Base Camp cartridge for the words but I have been wrong before and I'm sure this won't be the last.


Some More Baby Layouts

This is a Mommy and Me page. I had such a hard time finding cardstock that matched . I just don't like this one and I think it's because of the ugly green cardstock. That color was as close as I could come to matching. The paper is Nana's baby or something like that from DCWV. The leaves are hand cut, the letters are from All Mixed Up cricut cartridge, the flower is Prima and the flourish is a stamp that I had. The ribbon is from my statsh. And again, pics so you can see each page solo.


























































More Baby Book

This is the summer page that I made. This page was made mostly with Bo Bunny. Love that line.

The polka dot paper is Bo Bunny along with the stickers. The eyeletts are some of the bigger eylettes that I had. The frog was made with a thin quickkut die and the ribbons are some that I had in my stash.












The next two pics are just so that you can see each page by itself.






























This is another one of my favorite pages. Again I don't rember the paper line but I did get it at my LSS. The monkey's and the leaves were paper piece together...... Some times I enjoy paper pieceing. The stitching was done by hand.... I know where the power button is on a sewing machine, so I figure that's good for me....lol
















and again here are the pages for you to look at alone.


















More Pages to the Baby Book

This is the first page to 4th of July. I Don't remeber which cricut cartridge that I used on it. I'm thinking that it's Base Camp. I do like that cart. The fireworks was a stamp that I had and I just added different stickles to it....I do love my stickles!.... As far as the paper I don't remeber what it was I do know that I got it at my local LSS.The Stars that I used on this were a die set that my LSS had.




















This is one of my favorite ones that I made for her book. Crocdille Tears...lol....For the words CROC- ODILE TEARS I just typed them in word and printed it on card stock. the croc I hand cut him. and the flowers were from Making Memories.








Here's a look at each page individually.













This is the second page. I hope she enjoys these pages.
