So...I'm way behind on posting pictures of things I've made (shocker), but in my defense, I've been making something pretty cool for the last few months! Baby Girl will be here in December. I'm loving this stage of my life, but I've got to get all these "me" projects finished so I can focus on scrapbooking the next 18 years or so of my daughter's life! Anyway, I have a few Tres Jolie Kit Club kits laying around from the first trimester days (when I was too sick to make much of anything) and the second trimester days (where I just enjoyed getting to enjoy life again!) so I've started creating some things. Baby book is (obviously) in the making also so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, in addition to all the kits I have laying around I also have a stack of photos that I've already printed...and a list of photos that need to be printed. Guess I better get on the ball over the next couple of months!
Below...a picture of me and my beloved bird, Pistachio. Pistachio has since gone to live with my sweet friend C who treats her like the princess parakeet she is! 😆😍 I was channeling alot of the great Melissa Larson (or trying to anyway) with this LO, but may have gone a little off course (it happens.)
At any rate...the LO:
Below is a little close up of some of my glitter work. I was trying to swirl some glitter around using modge podge...lesson learned is that chunky glitter does not like delicate swirls, but I actually like how the glitter turned out. I also layered some flower pieces below my flower clusters to add a little extra depth.
Somehow I have acquired a significant collection of these Prima memory hardware items pictured below. They come in 3 packs and I feel like I use them often...yet I seem to have a never ending supply of these cute little dome-like embellishments (1st world problems, for sure.) I also layered some additional flowers and decorated most of my flowers with some Beautiful Beads from ReneaBouquets.
Another item I'm finding that I have an abundance of...pink sprays and stains. So...even though I'm having a baby girl, I'm definitely trying to make a dent in my pink stash. I covered most of the base paper with some stenciled designs and used those backdrops to experiment with a little color. To the left of the "Sweet Life" button is a spot where I used a pale pink spray over some Lindy's Stamp Gang Magical powder. Stay tuned for even more color experimentation! 😍💗
And there you have it! Just a quick catch up. Hopefully I can get a few more of these great scrapbook pages posted here and get my desk cleared so I can start decorating that baby book! 💞
xoxoxo,
Mel
