Page 8 and 9

I like the way this one turned out, except one little thing.  I colored the button die cuts and I think they look too bright for the rest of it.  .  I think I may go back and try and mute them a bit.  Also, it scanned a funny color.  It is actually a light tan color, not the yellowish that it shows here.

I wanted to have lots of elements to it and for it to look extremely girly.  It was going to be just one page, like the last page or something, but then the stamp gave me the idea for the second page.  The first page took me over two hours to complete.  I think it will show case a couple pictures nicely.

Album Day 2

Actually I stayed up until 3:30 this morning working on this album.  When it is quiet and I get in that room, it's like time doesn't exist.  I did  four more pages last night and two today during lunch.... and after closing.

This first one is the second page to the green one I did yesterday.  I am trying to put one journaling block on each two pages. 

These two are both done with off white, but they the right hand one looks like white here.Butterflies are stamped and cut out, except the ones on the bottom right.

I am trying to do each piece similar but not exact, with elements from one used in a different way on another.  ie  the left has the  punch flowers on the frame and the right has the seperated punched flower border.  The pattern papers are reversed, and the flowers on the left were punched out of a full sheet, and the round elements on the right were pre-cut shapes that I stamped flowers on. and added the bling. 

My intention is for it not to be a typical "baby" album but with some infant elements here and there.

Baby Album

I do very little "scrapbooking" but this is my second baby album in the last couple months.  It is a gift for our Pastor and his wife.  I don't think they read my blog, so I should be safe for a surprise.

I think it is going to be all pinks and green.  Maybe a little brown, and off white of course.  Note the red hair on the baby... Pastor Bob has red hair.

I will probably have pages that are the same background or theme for opposite pages.  If you click on the picture you can see the detail in the stamping better.
