My First Days

I'm down to my last page spread other than the intro page.  I really struggled with this one....trying to match the personalities of my son and DIL.  Anyhoooo, keeping their ideas and my elation "in-check" was a bit hard with the theme for this page.

The images are from Studio Girls.  I tried to do a digital scrapbook page to print out and I struggled with it not knowing the "ins and outs" of this procedure; therefore, I decided after being frustrated with the whole page, to just use the Print & Cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo for the onesies, clothes line and bulldog clips.  (But, this affords me to enter into the Silhouette Challenges - Print N Cut this month.)  I used a frame/border/label die from Cheery Lynn and a Spellbinders picot circle die.

It's Sew GRAND (and announcement)

I can finally announce... "I'm going to be a GRANDMOTHER"!!!  I have known for a month and was sworn to secrecy.  Do you have any idea how hard it is to be told you are going to be a grandmother "for the very first time" and then be told you can't tell ANYONE for a month!!!!! It was killing me.

On my blog posts, I was going on the premise that I was finally doing a scrapbook for my youngest son.  It was a good reason for keeping the colors neutral.  I will do a scrapbook for my son, but this one is for the new 1st grandbaby.  I won't do anymore pages until we find out the sex so I can make at least 5 pages very pink or very blue...haha  In the meantime.....as for my dear son Mitchell, I will start working on his 1st year scrapbook now....he just turned 19 last week!

( There are 3 sets of GRANDparents and 3 great-GRAND parents so this is a page I dedicated for us and them.)  So....ain't it GRAND!!!

Silly Goose

Yippee...I finished my 2nd theme, double page for my scrapbook.  I used Silly Goose Set by Treasure Box Designs.  My inspiration and casing was Stacie at Tori Belle Creations.  I changed up a little to make it my own and wanted space for 2 more pictures.  I also left white paper where the pictures will go...no sense adding pretty paper that will be covered up once pic is permanently placed. 

I also used the Chloe Stem die from Memory Box. I'm very happy with the results, but the stitching on the wave was a real booger...haha  I attempted to keep this page gender neutral. I made the upside down goose, but use the Silly Goose head from TB.
