Baby photo Album

Well I'm back again with a little something different....

As most of you know (from following this blog) my Sister-in-law is having twins. I came across a really cool chip board photo album by Bo Bunny and thought I could make her a album that's truly different.  I added some patterned papers, then took my foam brush thingie I use with distress inks and distressed them using Vintage Sepia Versa Fine ink (my fave ink). I added touches of DeNami all through out the book using the same ink, I'm really liking the stamping on pattern paper...quite different.

Can you spot all the DeNami in this book? I used basic background stamps...polka dots, stars and hearts on some pages and on others I added the sheep, turtles, elephant and the ohhh so adorable giraffe. I even managed to get the heart scalloped border in there lol. I started the book out with her first ultrasound picture and filled the rest of the book with mats so she can add more photos.

Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think....good or bad....or even better - what would you have done differently??...crafty minds wanna know!

trial invite #1

So a while back I made this little card for my sister-in-law after receiving some most AWESOME news. Well, it's time to start planning the baby shower....or do you say "babies" shower since it's twins?? Ohh well, ya'll already know I have terriable grammer ;)

I'm in the midst of making a few samples for the shower invite...so many cute stamps to choose from is making it HARD to decide! Also, since it's a boy & a girl, I had to incorporate both colors. Here's the one I decided to go with. I'll be showing ya'll the other mock-ups I made next week. Gonna be busy busy busy making 40 or so of these...wish me luck! ;)

I "antiqued" the little pull our card so it wouldn't be so bright white and will print all the shower info on it. Don't ya just love the teeny heart background??
