Pretty, pretty, pretty!

This is my most favorite new card. I made this with the samples for my Open House last Friday. I saw the Embosslit used to make this flower on another card @ splitcoast and loved it. I also loved this paper as soon as I saw it. It's such HAPPY paper :) To make this flower I ran two Regal Rose pieces of paper throught the Big Shot with the new Stampin' Up! Sweetest Stem Embosslit and one piece of Kiwi Kiss. I snipped the ends off the pink pieces and ink them with Regal Rose ink. Finally I glued them in layers behind the Kiwi Kiss piece. I think the faux stitiching down the side really adds to the quilted look made by the squares of patterned paper.

Ingredients:

Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red, Regal Rose, Whisper White, Raspberry Tart DSP - paper; Regal Rose, Rose Red - ink; All Holidays - stamp set; Big Shot, Sweetest Stem Embosslit, white gel pen, piercing template, ticket corner punch - accessories;

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!

More Scrapbook Pages

Here are some more of the pages from my Christmas scrapbook. I'm totally thrilled with the speed at which this is comming together! Just a few more pages & it's finished :)

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.
