Graduation Album

I have been working on my daughter's graduation album for a few months now and have finally finsihed it. I will be ordering Creative Memories StoryBooks for this album, as I want a copy for myself and my daughter, and there could be others who want a copy too. I have posted a few of the pages so you can see the end result.

I used her favorite color, purple, as the main color for the album. I designed it in StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 as a 12 x 12 book but decided that it looks just as good as an 8 x 8, so that is the size I will be ordering. I really enjoy digital scrapbooking in addition to traditional paper crafts. Each has its positive aspects and works well for certain purposes.

Welcome!

This is a project I will be doing with vinyl, eventually. I did a test with paper just so I could get an idea on what sizes I wanted each word. It will go above our entry door. We currently have an old fabric sign with the word "witamy", which is Polish for welcome, and no one knows what it means, so I used some other languages for welcome. Now I just need to find some time to cut it all out in vinyl and get it on the wall!

Rylynn's Polka Dots

This is a page I did of my friend's little cutie, Rylynn. I had the scallop/polka dotted paper in my stash and mounted it on a sheet of butter yellow that coordinated nicely with her outfit. The tag with ribbon is Creative Memories Tag Maker, which I sanded the edges of to give it a little contrast. She's a little doll!

Kalib

This is a page I did of my nephew Kalib. I used Street Sign Cricut cartridge for his name, and the striped circles were punched with my CM Circle Maker. The 3 layered circle on the ribbon was cut with the CM Cutting System Circle Makers, as the sizes of those were slightly larger than my shape maker punch could do. I still need to do my journaling on this page, but I like the end result.

Giddy Up Cowgirl!

I saved this embossed leaf paper from K & Co. for YEARS waiting for just the right photo to use with it. I took a regular photo and used photoshop to give it that "aged" look. Also used fabric photo corners from Martha Stewart to keep with the vintage look of this page. The copper metal embellishment was another one of those items I've had forever, and it looks great here!

Autumn Page

This was a really simple page to do, but I love how it turned out. One of those beautiful fall printed papers you're not always quite sure what to do with. This photo fit perfectly with a couple mat layers. You can't quite see it, but I sponged the edges of the torn layer with some brown ink to add a little more dimension. More pages to come!

Sweet Baby

This is my niece at 6 months old. I love the jacket she is wearing, because I too like to wear my leopard print accessories. I used Ashlyn's Alphabet for her name, and the heart came from Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. This was a fun page for me to create. The scallop under the ribbon was Creative Memories Scallop Circle Maker.
