Here Comes the Sun...

A baby boy album for the grandson and I had so 

much fun doing it and it was way

out of my comfort zone.

(I did crochet a blanket too)

I wanted to make a 6x6 album because most

people print their photos 4x6.

I used fun enamel paint colors that I tried to match

with the papers 

on a 6x6 chipboard album I got 

from scrapbooking.com

I really dithered about between wanting and album

with page protectors and a boring

baby paper pad I had

OR

Using this fun bright paper that I can't remember

the name of and I thought I wrote down yet

here we are. 

Using all kinds of dies and stamps.

Had a lot of fun using the critters

and that's when I found that the giraffe-

Gertrude - I some how lost the itty bitty dies

for his face.

So I winged it.

I can't begin to express how annoyed I am

about losing that die.

I am careful.

I put it in a dish.

I count them twice. 

Tore everything apart looking.

Hoping they show up.

Tucked in tags and made envelops

because there were not a lot 

of journaling spots on the pages

I sort of got carried away.

I did a lot of hand drawing which I

normally don't do - because I don't do it well.

I wanted it to bright, fun, happy

and cute.

Love how it turned out 

and if you know the mfg of the paper I used

I'd love it if you'd let me know.
