little pixy

I am so happy with how this LO turned out! I was inspired by Jill It is my 1st try at tear bears & my 1st time sewing on the photo mats and ribbon! I love the look but am always scared to try this but since I had an extra set of these pictures I went for it!

The sign is from PDDU knight I sized it using CDS

The Flowers are Primma's and the buttons are just some of my vast collection.

This is my very 1st tear bear! Man she was a lot of fun to make but let me tell you they are time consuming! I used PDDU pixy for the dress, shoes and wand, which I sized in CDS to get the right fit. The wings are for the PDDU angel, which I used the CB swirls folder on and used Versa Mark and shimmer chalk on. The belts is just some random pearl strand that I had laying around as are the bows on both bears.The eyes and nose are Peachy Keen stamps

Here is a close up of my pixy bear and her sign again I used PDDU pixy to make the shoes ( I cut 2 pairs then just used the right ones so that they were pointing the same way) and the dress, which I just cut in half. The wings I also cut in half, embossed with the CB ( the folder I got from Oh My Crafts tehy have great prices on all the Cuttle Bug stuff!) and used Versa mark and chalk over the swirls. Then layered them, again to make her look like she was standing to the side.

I did the quote on the computer the type is called Fairy dust and I think that I got it at

http://www.dafonts.com/ I then used the Ranger Embossing pen and Bridal powder to make a few words "pop"

The eyes have it

I went a little out on a limb here with the color, but I really wanted to highlight the big blue eyes. Both of my children were blessed with beautiful eyes and I wanted to play to that on this page. there is no journaling on this page since there was not really a lot to say I think that the pictures do the talking here. I did put "4 months" in the bottom left corner so at least her age would be there. The paper is my minds eye. I used CDS to make the square frame, also used are some buttons, chipboard, brads, and the threading water punch. I got the idea for the LO from Scrapbook trends July 2007 I just love these idea books! Here is the LO that I got my inspiration from The LO is by Doris Sander and is called Florida Snowman

We meet at last

This one was a little harder for me I do not do mushy very well and lets face the first time you hold your new baby is a very mushy time! The pictures that I had of this time were sort of odd shots cause I had a C-section we were in the recovery room and I was all hooked up to monitors and such.

I used CDS & PS for the tittle. I also used the threading water punch. The flourishes are from Bo bunny covered in DCWV card stock. Other papers are Chatter box and Bazzill. There are a few Prima's and skittles to finish out the page. The journaling was done using the computer.

Little Star

Ok this page came together very easy for me I found some Basic Grey paper (love it ) that matched prefect! This is my daughter at 5 months in her 1st swim suit. My Friend Kathy gave her the cute pink glasses which matched prefect! I tried to keep this fairly simple the stars are from PS I cut them 4 times 1 in "chipboard" and one in card stock in each size. Putt hem together then sanded and inked the edges I like the way it turned out the otehr stars are Heidi Swapp ghost stars (they are fun to use)

Sweet Baby

Well here is a LO of my Sweet baby girl (ok she is almost 5 now!) But as you can see she was not here. I used the MS lace punch and made a couple of shaker flowers. The journaling is hidden behind the photo on the right cause I hate the look of my hand writing but keep hearing people say that I should write some of it cause my kids will treasure it someday.

This is just a close up of the large shaker flower I used some baby show confetti in here.
