Baby Book

I finally did it.  I created my first Baby Book and this one is heading out as a gift for my nephew and niece in law,  who is expecting any minute now.  The book itself is made of chip board and the printed papers are all from 'mambi sheets' Baby Boy and the solids are Recollections card stock.  I also grabbed some puffy embellishments from Recollections and of course used my Cricut.  I am just super excited at how it came out.
There are 6 pages in the book itself and each page as 7 areas where there is either a photo mat or a place to journal. 





I can't wait to get this in the mail for them.  Hopefully they'll arrive at the same time.  
Thanks for looking.

Follow your dreams ....

This one is for my daughter, who is overseas performing and also for Less is More who is celebrating their 3rd birthday.  The challenge for the week is rainbow.  I found the rainbow musical ribbon in my ribbon drawer and pulled my inspiration from that.   The paper is Recollections and I embossed the music onto white card stock.   The stars are punched from paint chips.  This one is going in the mail on Monday!
A perfect pick me up for the both of us.  Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Super Bowl.  May your team win!

First Jump

So ... as we all have to jump in sooner or later ... here is my jump.  Just using what I happen to have out too.  Just stuff that was in my scrap box and on my desk.  I took a piece of Recollections's Black and White and dredged it through some Distress Inks.  Broken China, Peeled Paint and Wild Honey.  I anchored that onto some textured card stock I believe is Recollections in olive green.  I then used the soft brown Offray ribbon and stamped in gun metal embossing powder.  I also used my Fiskars scalloped edge.
Whew.
 I feel like I just joined a crafters anonymous group and made my introduction. 'Hello, my name is Dawn and I'm a craftaholic.  I suffer from Procraftinating which is working on craft projects when you should be cleaning house, doing laundry or making dinner.
Here is a card for Chromatic Craze using these colors. 

Thank you bunches and I hope I did this right ... eeeeek.
