She WAS such a CuTie!

My sister's birthday is in November. She has to share her birthday with thanksgiving...sometimes...
Haha! That can't be fun!
Anyway...She is somewhat lacking in my albums...so I made this page about her first birthday. She was such a cutie! I don't know what happened to her...lol...I hope she reads this ;) (we tease each other all the time :p)

DCWV Autum Melody- 12x12 stack, Cardstock stack,
Matstack & embellisment pack. Halloween and
 Fall value stack. 
I love this picture. I think my mom looks super pretty here :) and look how I'm STARING at that cake! Yum! I love how my sister is the only one looking at the camera. 
I made my own polaroid type frame around the picture using one of the papers in the Halloween and Fall value stack. 

Embellishments & 'November'  -Autumn Melody embellishment pack
orange letters -OA mini market stickers
 brown letters - Doddle Bug 

I cut parts of these with my craft knife
so they could be over the other layers. 


Could you tell the background piece of paper wasn't complete? Of course not! I used my Fiskars trimmer to cut out a big chunk off the middle of this piece. That gold foil from the Autumn Melody cardstock stack is beautiful...and not so easy to come by. I'm a big believer in saving paper :D The best part is that DCWV papers are so nice and sturdy, this won't affect the integrity of your LO. The only time I don't do this is when I use a sheet from the value stack as my background. Then, I feel it needs that cardstock background because I like the heavier weight on my LO's.
 

That's all for today! Thanks for looking :)

I'm so excited about this blog hop! I've loved Faber-Castel products for a long time and it was so much fun to combine them with my favorite DCWV textures. There’s some great prizes too- Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and DCWV will be giving away $75 in product at the end of the hop.  To win, follow the list below and leave a comment .  The hop will end at 5PM EST on Friday, March 28 th .  The winner will be announced on Monday, March 31 st on each of the company’s blogs.    I really wanted a special page for these pictures. They give me a very HAPPY feeling  and I love the sun rays coming through the trees. I wanted to mimic that in the background paper. I thought the woven craft cardstock was a great background because its a little less stark than white for these pictures.   I wanted the journaling to be more private so I made it a pull tab behind this cut out tag from the Bohemian Sunrise stack.    ...

Christmas with Clear Scraps & DCWV

Image
Welcome to Day 2 of the DCWV and Clear Scraps blog hop! You should have come from Britt's blog: http://pinkpapercrowns.blogspot.com Thanks for making it this far!  On to the project... I might have a LO or 2 about Christmas....Why? I just never get around to making more of them! The Holidays are usually too crazy and then I get into doing LOs of just ever day stuff or travel pics... and the holidays just get forgotten.  This year, I'm ready! I'll have the album pre-made, I just have to stick on the pictures and add some journaling! I used this 8x8 tabbed acrylic album from Clearscraps to create a Christmas mini that is ready to go.  The papers are Christmas Memories with a little bit of the Christmas and winter Diecut stack, the Christmas basics 6x6 & the Burlap stack. I love clear albums because I like to see the layers through the clear pages.    I folded the 12x12 papers in half and cut them to create pockets for ...
