Digital art: Time passes

A year ago this month I was bestowed the incredible honor of being this little lady's God-momma. It is one of my proudest titles in life. She is now almost 15 months old and flourishing like a beautiful flower. If I had only one wish it would be to have her close enough to visit but that is not fair to her mommy, daddy and extended family in her home state. I love creating these digital pages to share and boast on my God-baby. 

Enjoy!

Family page: Adorable

Babies in our family have certain facial features that are unmistakeable. In our case we have chubby cheeks, pouty lips, lotsa hair and an upside down "V" under the bottom lip. The photo of Zoe I used shows those features and how peacefully adorable she looks while sleeping.

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!

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!

Canine card: Belgian beauty

 

Brussels Griffons are an intimidating little dog to me so it has taken me this long to find the perfect way to showcase her. I decided to start with a feminine card that could show off  her expressive eyes. Looking at her it is hard for me to believe that they were originally used as ratters by stablemen. They are one of the most adorable dogs in person in the toy group ring. They have an attitude that lets everyone know who's boss.

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...

Sneak peek: Baby mini album cover

 Creating mini albums is something I enjoy. Unlike big scrapbooks it's almost instant gratification. This sneak peek shows detailed views of the cover of a baby girl mini album I was commissioned to make.

The cover of a mini album serves as a sneak peek of what will be found inside. I trust you will agree it is very girlie looking.

It incorporates old and new techniques. I brought my crop-a-dile out of the closet and used a new Tim Holtz swivel clasp. I even found some embellishments from a Tim Holtz class I took 4 years ago.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Stay tuned for the rest of the mini album in the days to come.

Scrapbook: Baby Album Cover

Once I saw this pink fabric Scrapworks ANTHOLOGIE album I knew I wanted to use it for the baby scrapbook I wanted to make for my friend Kiki. Of course I had to personalize the cover in my own way though. I used the We R Memory Keepers foil/glitter/flock rubons, Stampin' Up chipboard letter, and Prima Silk Fancies. I am so proud of this book both inside and out. I will post the inside pages on this blog soon.
