Baby Bundle Photo Album

Hello Everyone!

Well, as promised we've got snow here in Colorado Springs.  I'm not sure how much we're supposed to get today and tonight, but I do know the weatherman is predicting rough driving conditions on the way to work tomorrow.  Maybe a miracle will happen and we'll have a snow day...or at the very least a two hour late start.  I hate driving on slippery roads, especially when it is dark out.  So I would be happy with a two hour delay.  Usually, though, when the call comes, I'm already showered and half dressed.  The call comes at 5:30 a.m., and I get out of bed at 4:45.  Oh well, I can always sit and have another cup of coffee and listen to the news.

Here's a little photo album I made for a new mom recently.  I used the Baby Bundle stamp set in the IBC on page 78.  Isn't it adorable?  I also used the Baby Tees jumbo wheel on some of the inside pages.  Here is a list of everything I used along with measurements for the card stock.

• Always Artichoke c/s #105119 $6.95  for 24 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11.  I used 4 pieces of 8 1/2 x 11 c/s cut to 5" x 5"  pieces and folded them in half for the pages
• Very Vanilla c/s on the front cover cut with the Top Note Die for the Big Shot #113463 $21.95
• INK:  Versa Mark for Baby Tees wheel and Baby Bundle stamps on the inside.
• I stamped the baby carriage stamp in Crumb Cake and colored in the polka dots with a Rose Red Stampin' Write marker.
• The heart on the baby carriage is cut with the Heart to Heart Extra Large Punch #119881 $16.95.  I cut out the smallest heart in the punch using Rose Red c/s.

I hope you like this as much as I enjoyed designing it.  I just love the Springtime Vintage Collection in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  I can't get enough of that paper, fabric, EVERYTHING!

Until next time...
Happy Stamping!

Clear Stamp Case Photo Album

When I sat down to work on a project from my up line Kim VanDiepen the other day, I decided to skip the project and come up with my own using one of the items that went with hers.  I used one of the clear stamp cases to create this mini photo album.  I just love the way it turned out, and I soooooo impressed myself with my creativity. :)  I used the Springtime Vintage DSP from the upcoming Occasions Mini along with the Build a Blossom stamp set, Blossom Petals Punch and Frame Tulips Impressions Folder from the same catalog.  I just love, love, love, all three of these things from this catalog.  I am going to have to order more of the DSP as soon as the catty goes online because I've used all of it!  I hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as I enjoyed creating the project.

Until next time...

Happy Stamping!
