My First Baby Page Ever

| cristina

There’s a new challenge over at ScrapMatters and I love it! It’s called My Story Matters and the first challenge was to scrap about our birth.

So I did my first baby page ever, and was it tough! This is such a special memory and I wanted to make it just right.

Ribbons from On the Bright Side Add On and I’m a Dreamer (recolored), pins from I’m A Dreamer, Funky Stems Brushes, Razzle Dazzle Alpha (recolored) and Oscar Winning Alpha (recolored) by Britt-ish Designs

Paper (recolored) from Serenity Now by Erica Zane

Vellum from Chloe’s Garden by Ellie Lash

I did the shadows by hand because Photoshop Elements wasn’t doing a good job with the preset shadows on such a light colored background paper.
The next challenge is to scrap about the origin of our name.

Another Valentine’s Day LO

I took a ton of pictures on Valentine’s Day and I’d like to scrap many of them to document what a lovely day we had. 🙂

Here’s the first pictures of DH opening his card and trying to figure out where the scavenger hunt starts! 😉

I’m very tired this week so I have been scrapping almost nothing at all! Hopefully I’ll be able to recharge my energy this weekend (but I already know I have to bring some work home, so we’ll see..)!

Polka Dot Plum Blog Train

| cristina

The Polka Dot Plum CT girls are hosting a 2-week long blog train that you don’t want to miss!

Every day you can collect a quick page made with the gorgeous Sensory Overload:


The first stop is on the PDP blog! My stop is #13 and you should have arrived here from Sharon’s blog!

So, with no further ado, here’s the quick page I prepared for you:

As you can see, it’s very versatile, so you can use either of the 3 rectangles to place photos and/or journaling. Flip it, play with it and personalize this quick page adding the elements that you prefer!
Here’s an example I did using the 2 taller rectangles to place photos and the other rectangle for the journaling and adding an alpha for the title.

You can download the QP clicking here (the download will start automatically).
Please leave me a comment if you download!
Tomorrow’s stop is Reba’s blog. Make sure you stay on this train till the end!

I have yet to take pictures of the hybrid album I gave to DH yesterday (the very one that has kept me busy for the past couple of weeks), because I’ve been lazy and I’m still missing a good light to use in our home built light tent, but I’m in scrapping mood so you might see another page from me before I go to sleep. 🙂
