What's Your Summer Day 2

Welcome back for day 2!! I hope your having fun! We will get right down to the cool projects today...

I just made this card and I am really liking the flower. I am in Spokane at my grandma's house and we have been crafting together and this is what I came up with. I love when all the flowers are out in the summer. This is an A2 sized card, The flowers are a stamp set and a punch that grandma has from Stampin' Up. I really like the set. I used all Stampin' Up Cardstock.

Baby's First Year Album

I made this book for my aunt for the baby's first year. It is not all my idea, I scraplifted the ideas from the Cricut Message Board before it changed to the new one. I am extremely happy with the way it turned out!!! There are lots and lots of pictures!

I used New Arrival, Don Juan, and Calligraphy for the entire book.

Thanks for coming by!!

Aunt's Pregnancy Album

So,  I started a pregnancy album for my aunt when we found out she was pregnant last October. She is now due in 1 month and had her baby shower last sunday. I had so much fun!! Last time I saw her I asked to bring the book so that I could work on it. I have been working on this book for so long. Here is the book... It was made with the Life's A Beach Cartridge and there are lots of pictures. 

Please let me know what you think. The whole book was made with Life's A Beach and Don Juan. 

Scrapbookaholic by Abby Challenge #5
