Believe Layout

-















So of course here's another baby layout.... LOL! I used the DCWV Nana's Nursery Paper Pad again and as the papers are all quite busy I inked the edges of each piece of patterned paper to ensure you could see where one paper started and another ended. I used a Kaiser Rub On for my title (from a Christmas themed pack) and a flower with a jewelled brad to match my colour scheme.
The saying: What feeling is so nice as a child's hand in yours? So small, so soft and warm, like a kitten hudling in the shelter of your clasp. Was something I saw in a scrapbooking magazine a few years ago when I was still working in an office... Anyway we had these clear labels for our files and I printed the saying on it then hoping I'd one day find a photo to do it justice and finally I did! (This is the same as what Anne was talking about: using Avery Labels to print titles and journalling).
The little metal hand in the bottom right hand corner is from a pack at the thrift store and cost me $2 for a pack of mixed them pieces 10 in total.
The heart sticker across the top left of the photo came on an adhesive roll from the thrift shop along with another one that says "Baby Girl" which I am sure to use! LOL!
I do find it difficult to put a price on these 8 x 8 pages as I'm only using a porting of my 12 x 12 sheets of cardstock andpatterned paper.
I do suggest though if you are having trouble getting inspiration that you sit down and get a pad of co-ordinatin papers and an album and cut up your papers into odd shapes and strips and make yourself use them.

Hi guys, from the look of this post my spelling and grammar have gone out the window..... Sorry! I'm rushing... trying to put up posts and do layouts when the baby is sleeping so obviously I didn't check it before I approved it. VERY LAX of me! Will try harder in future! LOL!

50 Ideas to Get Organized and Enjoy Your Scrapbooking Hobby

Scrapbooking is a wonderful hobby! Besides being relaxing and fun, it also allows you to be creative and to spend quality time with your family and friends. Plus, it results in a storybook of lifelong memories. One very important element of scrapbooking is getting it all organized. This includes, but is not limited to: storing all of your supplies in an organized fashion so they can be found instantly when you need them. remembering what supplies to pick up at the store, and eliminating duplicate purchases. finding time to research new and creative ways to spruce up your scrapbooks. finding enough time to enjoy the art of scrapbooking in your busy life. TELL A STORY. Plan your photos, before you shoot. Instead of taking random shots of someone standing here, or someone else sitting there, tell a story. For example, let's say it's Halloween. You may plan on taking four photos of your child: on the hayride taking him/her to the pumpkin field.
