~A Work In Progress~

Okay, so while patiently waiting for my Stampin' Up demo kit to arrive, I have been of course scrapbooking, and decided to show a sample of what is in the works at the moment.





This is the front. Obviously, it's not finished... but cute non the less. The plan is to put her birth year on the outside and journal on a really big tag on the right side. I totally scraplifted this from Lisa Bearnson circa 2009 on her editorial page, but for the life of me I cannot find that edition right now to give you an exact reference.

I am not the kind of girl that makes a book for each major occurance in a kiddos life. I am a scrap-condensed kind of person. But with birth, I think it needs a little extra space. I am tired of the standard two page layout though. So this was the solution. Here a a couple of extra side shots.

It's been so much fun remembering that day that seemed to take forever to come when you are on bedrest for 3 months! Hope you enjoy it!!

And so it all begins... and this is where it happens!

Well hello out there blog land!

So, this is the 2nd day of some big adventures. I have been busy cleaning up my creative space, and getting ready for my Stampin' Up! stuff to get here, so that I can hit the ground running. I decided to take some pictures and post, so everyone can see where my "creative engines" run. Plus, I think I am going to show ya'll some non-Stampin' Up! stuff that I do just as scrapbooking for my kids/family books. Here is a broad overview of my scrap space. I am blessed to have an understanding husband supports my hobby (just as I support his various happenings... its a win/win as far as I am concerned), so that means a good 1/4 of our bedroom is a scrap space... and there is more room to put an additional table in here as well as needed. Sometimes your friends don't wanna come over and scrap with you in your bedroom!

On the next few posts there will be other pictures with labels...

Until next time...
