My Pink Stamper National Scrapbook Day Celebration

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share a few of my creations for National Scrapbook Day Celebration over a MPS. I would have loved to have completed more projects but I am so happy to have participated. I tried to do pages because I do have loads of pictures left to scrap and I guess I am a lot fired up about my pages from last week's daily page.

So here are all my entries on one post:
Challenge # 4 - Mother's Day Theme
This card is very similar to the Graduation card I posted last week. I loved the design so much I thought it would look cute in pink and I was right!

Challenge # 7 - Make a scrapbook page
This is another one for my Mother-in-laws book. Title means sister and the pictures are of my MIL and her sisters.

Challenge #10 - Something with a pet
We do not have any pets of our own but my sister-in-law has dogs. This is a page for my MIL's book of her shaggy grand-kids.

Challenge #12 - Something Kid Theme
You recently seen the layout of my son's hair cut story. This picture was taken a couple weeks after showing him do what he does best - RUNNING!

I won't do what was used for this post but if you have any question or you want to know which Cricut cart I used please drop me a line.

Happy Scrapping!

Nuts About Sketches Birthday Celebrations: Sketch 7

Hello everyone,

This is the final sketch of the Nuts About Sketches Birthday celebrations. I had so much fun producing the pages and I got so much done in such a short space of time its is unbelievable!

For Sketch 7, I used pictures of my son having his first hair cut. This is what is written in the journaling:

We weren't exactly ready to give you a hair cut, but when daddy asked, "Why is Aleksi loosing his hair? I knew something was wrong! Aliisa had taken her play scissors and started cutting your hair. Chunks of your beautiful curls were just lying all over the floor. We had to cut it to make it even. Daddy was the happiest, he got out his sheer and got rid of all of it. You still looked cute, but mommy was not too happy because her little baby looked so much like a little man!

 

What was used:
Cricut  Boys Will Be Boys (Title and shadow 1.50 inches)
Cricut Disney Happily Ever After (Scissors 1.1 and 1.75 inches)
Cuttlebug Polka Dots Embossing Folder
Recollection Basics Red paper (Dots, Small dots and Stripes)
Recollection Black Cardstock
DCWV Textured Cardstock
Red Ink 

You have until May 15 at midnight (14th going the 15th) to complete any of these sketches. You will get one entry for every layout you complete. The winner will be picked randomly and will be announced on Monday's regular post. Here is reminder of the Scrapbook Kit that can be won.

Happy scrapping!
