Jacob's scrapbook (Months 2 thru 4)

I finished 3 scrapbook pages in the past day and a half and there are a couple more in the making which brings me almost to my goal of 1 page per month plus special occasions for my baby!  Of course I still have about a year of catch up to do for my daughter but that shouldn't take me too much time, LOL!
The first one is my boy at 2 months old.  I love the look on his face here.  He really is such a little flirt, today he was smiling at me and raising his eyebrows, beyond adorable!

As I was scrapping this page I remembered that Unity Stamp Co has a challenge going on right now to use circles so I flipped through my Unity stamps searching for some circular stamps to fit my page and found 3 different stamps to use all from different KOM's.  The dandelion circle is from April 2010, the flower circle is from May 2011 and the heart sentiment if from June 2011.  The patterned paper is from Bobunny's Adlib line.  The title stickers are from Fancy Pants.

The next layout is Jacob at 3 months old.  The papers, epoxy owls and tree ribbon are from TPC Studio's Woodland Whimsy line.  The title is cut from Give A Hoot.  I am entering this one in a challenge going on over at Paper Cutz called The skies the limit.  All your project has to have in it is something found in the sky...OWLS!!!

The last layout is Jacob at almost 4 months old (he'll be 4 months this Friday).  I love this pic of him, he's got such a sweet smile!  The paper is from KI Memories, the frame is patterned paper by Heidi Grace that I cut into strips to make a frame.  The banner is from My Mind's Eye except for the green scalloped pennants, they are cut from Birthday Bash.  The paper line I had was browns, blues, yellows and oranges and I really wanted some green pennants to tie in with the colors of the layout and the Cricut comes to the rescue!  I cut them real size at 1 1/4" and they blend right in with the stickers.  I popped up the banner with dimensional tape and strung some twine behind it.

And now off to work on some more pages!!!

Vintage thinking of you

A quick card I made this evening for Operation Write Home.  I needed a some craft time tonight after putting the kids to bed since both of them fought naps today and had meltdowns at our friends BBQ today.

The car stamp is from Technique Tuesday stamped with Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink.  The papers are My Mind's Eye.  I used my Cricut to cut the stars at 1 1/4" and tied some twine through a couple of buttons to finish it off.

Baseball Themed Birthday

This is a card I made for my brother-in-law's 40th birthday.  He's a huge Detroit Tigers fan so I made him a baseball themed card for his 40th and used the colors of the Tigers.  The letters are cut using Cricut's Birthday Bash cartridge.  The jersey and paperclip are old embellies I had in my stash from an old layout about my first Tigers game.  Love it when I can use up some old forgotten product!
