My Paper Life

Posts Tagged ‘family’

A holiday near and dear to my heart for so many reasons. I began scrapbooking 13 years ago this month and while I don’t do it as often, it’s something I hope to always keep a part of me. I need to learn to make more time to do it!

This is my first page since last summer, for a challenge at A Cherry on Top. They have an NSD celebration going on with lots of interesting challenges.

All the items included were part of a recipe I had to follow. It made for an interesting page. I do like how it turned out although I felt quite rusty making it!

Have a great night!

Happy Tuesday!

I finally had time to blog so I pre-scheduled yesterday morning’s and today’s posts.  My nephew started preschool at the end of August. I can’t believe he is old enough for school! Seems like yesterday he was a tiny 3 lb baby in the NICU.

He loves Elmo and went to Sesame Place this summer, so I made him an Elmo card to commemorate this milestone. I bought several Sesame Street cartridges on sale awhile back and the Seasons one had several school images. Lucky me!

I used some of my beloved Basic Grey stash on the card. These papers are from the Oxford 6×6 pad. I added a few SU enamel shapes as embellishment.

My nephew loved his card. I stopped to see him on his first day. I’m lucky that he lives close by and I can pop over there easily.

Have a great day!

Supplies~

CS: SU Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point, Basic Black, Whisper White

PP: Basic Grey Oxford

Other: SU Brights enamel shapes, Cricut Sesame Street Seasons cartridge 

Last weekend I spent some time scrapbooking pictures of my niece, Madelyn. She is now 7 months old and I am finally getting pages done for her album.

The first one is for Sketch #207 at Sketches in Thyme~

This next one was made using the Week 1, Team B sketch at Let’s Get Sketchy (missed the deadline but still wanted to share!)

And this last one was my own design~

Isn’t she just so precious?! Hopefully there will be several more pages to share next month!

Thanks for stopping by!

My niece was baptized on Sunday and I made this customized card for her.

It took me awhile to put it together as I don’t typically make religious cards.  I found a cross in a Verve Christmas stamp set and I made the sentiment using Lawn Fawn’s Milo ABC’s stamp set. I think I did pretty good!  The embossed background is from an old Cuttlebug embossing folder from the Decorative Tile set.

Here is a picture of my beautiful niece 🙂  She is 5 months old now.
