Baby Girl Album 6x6 Size

I used the 8x8 Paper Studio Baby Girl paper pad and love how
it turned out. Really Really cute stuff and some
to fussy cut.
 
I enjoy doing staggered pages and all photos can be tucked
in and under. Keeping it simple as it is a gift.
Also trying not to be real bossy - as this can be used anyway
my great niece would like doing it.
Love the thread and doily and a really neat tag
tucked in that can be used for
either photos or journaling.
There is a baby blanket in the works but
it does not match color-wise.
Quite the rebel on this one LOL.
I do want to get some ribbon and tie a bow
on the rings.
Drives me crazy not to have one, however,
in looking at it, it actually doesn't look bad without the bow
and maybe because it won't get in the way when looking through the book.

Catching up with fun new pages in my Traveler's Notebook

 Only a few pages remaining this TN - woohoo!
It went really fast and it's is relatively FLAT!
I'm really enjoying the challenge of slim to none dimension.
So this cutie pie is our great nephew Mateo
who was a long time coming.
Happy, sweet, inquisitive and friendly babe.
Loved his Uncle Tom right out of the gate. 
Need to fix my bottom sentence.
How can one forget a word when writing. 😐
I am so diggin' the MS alpha punch but those little
devils can be found hiding everywhere.
They work perfectly in this album.
I also used a lot of die cuts on this page. 
I must say those small-medium size embellishment 
triangle immediately went to a quad.
Sigh.
And it just kept getting bigger because more
colors were required (in my mind)
to "balance" things out.
 And here we have the parents.
I actually look pretty okay in this photo.
Usually my hair is a hot mess and I look chubby.
I did leave a lot of space there and hopefully
more journaling. I wasn't very windy when I wrote this
and also had issues with words.
Sigh.
Anyone else play charades in their head when hunting
down a word that just brings it all together?
 And I found a REAL scrapbook shop.
Swoon.
It was jam packed with goodies. I think it 
took me 5-6 spins around before I actually saw 
everything and then I missed a bunch.
 I have a wide variety so this oughta be fun
working it all in. LOL.
I need to locate my other blank TN OR maybe
DIY one. I do like the rings because I can add stuff
in like the national park pamphlets.

Additional pages in my Travelers Notebook

I am actually loving how this notebook is coming together.
Even with the lack of dimension.
This photo was made in the collage choice in Easy PhotoPrint editor.
So in the background is a faded covered bridge that
covers the entire page and the others nesting in it.
Pretty cool - there is supposed to be text in the first block
but I couldn't figure that part out. LOL.
Finally got that 82 out of my stash!
 Just having fun with die cut embellies and love the 
photo with the lighthouse behind our home.
And because the patch had bling - there's bling going on there.
It's so much fun exploring and that bridge
is amazing - high and deep sprouting up from the gorge.
 This is from our ride through the backroads that take
you from one cool town to another.
And then my favorite road to hate. LOL.
 The abandoned mine was huge.
The conveyor runs at least 1300 feet and was
designed by Henry Ford.
It made the workers lives easier in getting the coal to the train.

Tim Holtz, Studio Calico, MS alpha punch (ooohh)
 prima flowers, Quikutz dies
