4x4 Baby album Update

UPDATE - added 2 more pix below.....

I had a great time putting this little album together. 
It's all about the grandson.
I printed them in 4x4 size and that was really
neat to work with. 

I also printed 2x2's and of course created my
very own PL cards.

Naturally some of the 2x2s look like 4x4s 
because why not
they're adorable either way.

Got rid of a lot of ephemera.
Yay!

Love making my own embellies. 
I actually do not have many store bought ones
 because honestly, I buy them and then
are clueless on what to do with them because 
a. they're either not my style
b. I don't have anything to go with anything.
c. unless they're flowers............

I decided to have fun and downloaded 
Roadrunner because it cracked me up.

I didn't do a lot of journaling 
because it's not mine to journal really,
so I'm going to tuck tags
behind pictures here and there
and hopefully mama and favorite eldest son
will take care of that.

They take really great pictures and keep me quite updated.

I adore that viewmaster reel.
Remember those???
Cutting edge back in the day.
Sissix die.

Is he too stinkin' cute or what.

Used a lot of TH words and phrases.
and dated some of the photos.



I may need to pick up another 4x4 size
because this was fun to do.
Actually it's my second one as I did 4x4 wedding
album for favorite youngest son 

I do adore that little bear as you can see throughout.

and ta-da happy ending!!!

It's really hard to know when to stop.
Update!!!
I didn't stop LOL.
Got 2 more photos that had to be included.
Especially since mama wasn't in too many of them.
Like that's a surprise LOL.

He is just tooooo stinkin' cute.

Using up washi tape


I have a lot of washi tape (like who doesn't) 
and I really don't use it a lot. 
I see others that use it and it looooks sooo good.
Mine not so much.
So I have a lot of washi and blank notebook.
Well we can't have a blank, boring looking book cover
so...........................
I just slapped washi everywhere 
willy nilly.
Some had no adhesive so modge podge to the rescue.

And then.....I decided that maybe some gesso
is required to tone it down.

And then I thought maybe stamps
would work in another willy nilly kind of way.
Too much???
I kind of like it.
And why not.
