Art Journal: Zink Happiness

Last Sunday I was watching Lisa Bearnson on HSN as she featured this amazing little ZINK (zero ink) printer. I am usually good at resisting buying brand new tools, but I did cave after learning all of the features. I received my purchase on Wednesday and could hardly wait to start playing with it. Here are some examples.

Family page: Princess Zoe

My brother looks like a very proud daddy cradling his baby Zoe in his arms. It is his first baby with his lady love, Natashia. They produced a precious little PRINCESS. Enjoy!

Family page: Love struck

This is baby Zoe with her grandmother Christine....

Baby album: Precious jewel

A precious jewel has been added to our family, my niece Zoe. This is the cover of her baby album complete with pearls, crystals and gems. Welcome to the world baby girl!

Family page: Love time

Our family is anxiously awaiting the arrival of little Zoe. It seems she is already asserting herself, since she will not be rushed, regardless of 7 minute apart contractions. Natashia has nurtured our little munchkin through 9 very difficult months. The time is almost here!

Family page: Mini Me

My cousin and her little girl are so alike she calls her 'Mini Me'. The love they share is wonderful to see. Enjoy!

Handmade card: thank you Tasha

The most amazing gift is the gift of life. In this case my brother's girlfriend is carrying my new niece until May. Creating this card was so much fun!

Yoshi page:In love

This week we received an unexpected surprise, a baby picture of Yoshi from our friend (and pug breeder) Kathi. We had never seen this one before...Ain't he adorable? Thanks again Kathi

Baby scrapbook: Journey

A couple expecting their first child together embark on a journey of love. This journey is full of cravings, worries and surprises. Each trip to the doctor is another opportunity to see what your growing little one is up to in your tummy. Every photo makes you fall more deeply in love. Enjoy!

Baby scrapbook: Bloomin'

The last trimester of pregnancy remind me of a blooming flower. In this page the belly is in full bloom. Enjoy!

Baby scrapbook: Families

A new addition to our family is an opportunity to look back at how lucky we are. The wealth of memories is priceless. Zoe is a very lucky little lady!

Baby scrapbook: From coast to coast

In this scrapbook I wanted to highlight how love knows no limits... Moving from an Atlantic coast to a Pacific coast city is an amazing adventure. I am so excited and proud to highlight my brother and Natashia's story.

Baby scrapbook: Mommy as a little lady

This beautiful page is t highlight my future goddaughter's mommy. I was so honored to hear my brother and his lady love have chosen me to be their baby's godmother.

Baby scrapbook: Daddy as a baby

My baby brother is set to have his third child in May. We are very excited for him since his second child was born nearly 14 years ago. He is thrilled to be having a little girl.

Baby scrapbook:Love lives here

The title for this page just popped into my head as I was creating. It just felt right. Those of you that believe in a creative muse will agree with me. Anyone who is reluctant to try digital Scrapbooking, like me, should try this Scrappad app.

Baby scrapbook: April showers...

Some unique scrapbook pages evolve out of browsing someone's Facebook photos. The first time I saw this photo I knew what I wanted to create. I trust my brother and his lady love will adore it as much as I do. Enjoy!

Scrapbook: Sleepy Sheep

The most peaceful sight is sleeping babies, in this case it's our four legged baby. Enjoy!

Mini Album: Jaelynn Lasai, part 2

When I found this glittery paper at Michael's I knew I wanted to use it in this mini album.

In my eyes, babies are the most pure beings on Earth. This is just a poor way of showing what a blessing they are.

Recollections make these glowing bling that I found on sale at Michael's while I was in Houston. Yes! I even shopped when I was away from home.

More pages to follow!

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Mini Album: Jaelynn Lasai, part 1

The first 2 pages of this mini album echoed the color scheme from the cover.

It established new elements like crowns and colorful snails.

Another part I wanted to include was extra hidden space for photos and/or journaling without making it too bulky.

It was a fun challenge to myself.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Stay tuned for more goodies...

Mini Album: Baby Girl Jaelynn Lasai

This is the completed cover of  my most recent baby album. I like to find out the future baby's name so I can incorporate it in the album. I made sure to double check the spelling of such a unique and beautiful name.

The satin ribbon was from my stash and I used as much of my paper stash as I could. I even re-purposed some paper from a pet themed paper pad. Just goes to show paper pads of any theme can be reused for any project.

The white felt flower is a clip I found at Michael's dollar bin (3 clips for $1). The tulle flowers are from Recollections, The metal heart, swivel clasp and pearls are by Tim Holtz.
