Our Scrapbook Project - Cover Page

And, finally, this will be the front page in the album.  We hope you enjoyed seeing the pages.  We were going to take the time to do more, but someone suggested that we send her all of the materials that are left over since she enjoys scrapbooking, and it will be part of the gift.  That way she can take part in creating the book too.  We got together yesterday and worked on our Big Shot Club projects for the month, so those will be posted soon!

Our Scrapbook Project

You may recall that one of our beautiful nieces, April, and her wonderful husband, Justin, were expecting a baby back in January.  Aubrey Mae arrived on January 21st weighing in at 10 lbs. 1 oz. - YIKES!  Well, we have decided to work on some scrapbook pages to put in an album for them as a gift (hopefully she doesn't visit our blog or the surprise will be spoiled).  We decided to use Stampin' Up!s perfectly coordinated Nursery Suite Designer Series Paper and Quick Accents & Elements.  It takes the guesswork out of determining a color scheme and overall theme.  It also allows us to use our own style without taking us too far off track.  Over the next several days we will be sharing our pages here.  You'll see that we've also incorporated a lot of other things like Big Shot die cuts, stamping, embellishments, etc.  If you have specific questions about anything, please post a comment or send us an e-mail.  Our apologies about the quality of the photos, but otherwise they may never get posted (smile!).   

Petal Cone Basket

Well, it's nice to be missed!  We got word that some of you wondered what was going on with us since we haven't posted lately, but have no fear, we've just been living life (you know how that can go sometimes).  Actually, we had the pleasure of hosting our best friends, Kevin and Patty, from Nebraska for the last four days!  We had a wonderful time and even got some stamping time in (it's never enough, though!).  Anyway, this petal cone basket was made using the video tutorial from Angie Kennedy Juda over at Chic'n Scratch  Our basket was made using the Nursery Suite Specialty DSP and the "sending Springtime smiles" greeting from the Easter Blossoms set in the Occasions mini catalog.  The 2 1/2" circle and 2 3/8" scallop were used for the elements on each side of the basket.
