Baby Girl Mini Album - Take 2

When I have an opportunity to create AND do something special for someone, I jump on it! For this project, my baby sister wanted to give a personal gift at a baby shower she attended this weekend, and didn't quite have the time to complete something herself. She is always willing to step in and help others when they need it, so this was my turn to do something for her. Here is my creation:

If you are interested in creating a custom word book (it does NOT have to be a baby album), please let me know...I'd love to make you something just your own!!!

Baby Girl Mini Book

A longtime girlfriend (nearly 28 years) of mine is expecting her first baby...a little girl! I know that I just LOVE getting personal keepsakes as gifts, I wanted to do something special for her. I have seen a lot of different word books, and some just seemed more complicated than they needed to be. I came up with this simple & sweet version for my friend to include a few pictures to show off to her family and friends!!! B-A-B-Y:

Engagement Card

One of our close friends has decided to tie the knot, and this weekend we're going to their engagement party! I wanted to show the happy couple how happy we are for them by MAKING the card, instead of picking out a store bought creation...and this is what I came up with!

Materials: Base - Standard 5x6.5 blank white card Main layer - Red Cardstock Bride/Groom - Stretch Your Imagination Cricut Cartridge, Base (cut in black) & Layer (cut in white) @ 5" Best Wishes - Cricut Classic Font 4"x2.5" (using Design Studio)

Big Boy Room

The time has come & my son is ready to move on to bigger & brighter things...i.e., his Big Boy Room! I wanted to make sure it was EXTRA special for him, especially with a new little brother or sister on the way. My son LOVES to go to Disneyland with Mommy & Daddy, and loves pretty much ALL things Disney, so deciding on the theme of the room was the easy part. I didn't want to spend a ton of money making it his own, so I collaborated with my baby sister and came up with the idea to decorate with scrapbook frames filled with pictures of Brody with his favorite Disney characters as the focal point on one of the walls. Here is the result...

All characters were created using the Mickey & Friends Cricut Cartridge.
