Adorable Baby Girl Scrapbook Layout

Hey crafty friends!  Welcome to another layout here at The Paper Addict.  Thank you for joining me.  Today I want to share my adorable baby girl scrapbook layout that I created for the August challenge over at Scrap the Girls.

This month the blog challenged us to use an inspiration image to create the layout.  It’s one that is VERY open to interpretation. When I looked at the image I saw a lady who looked happy to be opening her heart to new growth.  What better to depict new growth and happiness than a baby.  This lead me to my daughters five month old baby shoot, and one of my favorite photos of her ever.

I started with a pink piece of cardstock from American crafts as the base of this layout since I didn’t have any full 12×12 pieces of patterned paper left.  I then took the largest piece of paper I had to create the base.

Everything else on the layout is scraps! I distressed all the edges and layered them in various ways to create a base for them in the middle of the paper.  Some strips long the right edge and paper wise I felt like I had enough interest and any more would be to much.

I sprinkled on my embellishments and a silver foiled title piece and the layout was complete.  It really didn’t take all that long…maybe 30 minutes, which for me is great!

Back to creating I go everyone.  Let me know what you created with this image so I can see how you interpreted it.  Until next time…stay crafty!

Dream Little Girl Scrapbook Layout

Hey crafty friends!  I’m so happy to be back sharing a new creation with you.  I made this Dream Little Girl scrapbook layout for the July challenge over at Scrap The Girls.  The have a fun mood board as inspiration this month.

I muted the colors from the board a bit when creating my layout, but kept the fun feeling from the girl having candy.  I used photos from our little girls third birthday shoot  in which she was being sweet rather than sassy to play into the candy theme.  She’s also wearing pink and aqua which are in the mood board.

Since I was at the end of the Simple Stories Enchanted collection so I didn’t have much left.  It was one piece of 12×12 and the cut apart cards.  I went with a grid layout because it allowed me to use the cut apart for matting and squares other than my photo.  I embellished each square with matching piece from the die cut packet.

Some of the die cuts were silver foil and they gave the grid just a little extra something.  I used the word dream as my biggest little, but each block really could have been a title in and of itself.  And let’s not even talk about how cute our little girl is in these.  It’s so hard for me to believe she’s 4 already!

Well, I think that’s it for now.  Tell me what you’ve been creating and be sure to head over to Scrap the Girls and see all the inspiration they have provided for the mood board.  Until next time…stay crafty!

February Monthly Crafting Challenge

Hey Crafty Friends.  Hard to believe that January is over already and we’re here for the February monthly crafting challenge.

I went the traditional route this month and chose the board put together by Lilleliis from last year.  While it’s the traditional pink, red and hearts I think there is also enough else to find all kinds of inspiration.

Fall Sibling Scrapbook Layout

Hey Scrap Friends!  Can you believe I have two posts so far this month!?  That certainly is a record right now.  This fall sibling scrapbook layout is my share for the anything goes challenge over at the Southern Girls Challenge blog, and using the weekly sketch from the Hip Kit Club facebook group.

For this challenge I used a photo of my niece and nephew during her two year photo shoot.  While it was her birthday shoot the photo wasn’t particularly birthday themed, and it hard her brother, so I didn’t think birthday paper was appropriate.  My nephew was in the photo so I didn’t want to use girl themed paper.  It wasn’t Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. so  are you seeing my dilemma?

I ended up going with fall paper for three reasons.  The first is that they are sitting in front of a brick wall and on a brick walkway.  The red of the brick would match the red in most fall paper collections.  My niece is also born at the end of September so it technically was fall. Last, but not least fall paper tends to be gender neutral so it fit that both kiddos were in the picture.

So what do you think?  Did I make the layout work for both my niece and my nephew?  I sure hope my Sister-In-Law thinks so!  Until next time….stay crafty!
