Spreading the News

Ok, back to the baby book. I really like this layout. This paper was new and I love it! I have finally used my chipboard letters and I really like using them. They are very easy to paint. I painted them white then red, sanding a little to show some white & then splattered a little black paint on them to sortof resemble the red paper I used. I also sewed around the edged of the patterned paper. I used a few silver brads and some wire to connect the 2 family shots together on the 1st page.

Santa - Christmas 2004

I didn't have any baby pictures printed, so I went to this photo to scrapbook. This one was a tough one for me. The photo is really bad quality (and probably cost us $15 bucks to have!). I'm trying to use supplies that I already have so I had a hard time picking out papers. I went back to this page a few times adding things before I was ready to say that I was finished.

I added the stamped poinsettias to the background and the red ribbon below the picture for some more texture. The Santa Title I printed on cardstock and cut out using my handy craft knive. I couldn't scrapbook without that thing!
