Last Year's Scrapbook

After finishing my baby book, I thought I'd share my file folder scrapbook from last year. I made three of these for Christmas presents. I used the Simply Scrappin' kit Creative License to make two of them.







And here are the close ups of each month. Sorry they're fuzzy but you can see the layout of each.

Last Installment of the Baby Scrapbook

This is my last post of the scrapbook for my nephew. I'm so glad I got it finished so quickly. I'm so crazy about the letters I made for the title page. They're made with embroidery floss. I just got these piercing templates from my local scrapbook store & they're so fun!

The Christmas Scrapbook

One of the Christmas gifts I'm making this year is a baby scrapbook for my nephew. I've been totally cruising and have already finished 15 or 16 pages. I haven't done the cover or title page yet, but here's a taste of some of it.

Sew, Owls are in Right Now...

I had my first technique club & we chose punches as the technique. I found a tutorial for these owls on the Stampin' Up! site & thought they were adorable.
