I think this one has to be my favorite…just because there were some pleasant surprises on how this came together.
The DSP is Urban Oasis…unopened pack in the drawer. I never thought it would look good on a baby page until I busted open the pack and saw the REST of the patterns. This is THREE patterns from the Urban Oasis pack. The Baja Breeze is a good match for the blue in the picture. I tried out my new Spellbinders New Arrival Dies I purchased from HSN. Ho hum…they are supposed to cut (they did), emboss (huh? really hard to see) and stencil (yep – use a marker…does a good job). I just wasn’t WOW’d by ’em, ya know? The baby sure is cute. Phillip said the stork should be white, not brown…I told him the bird was just dirty and needed a bath. 😉 More Tidy Alpha for my title. I’ll fill in the details on the Becky Higgins journaling card.
I think this is a cute baby page…not to overwhelming BABY, but with classic elements.
Whatcha think?
Thanks for stopping by! Have a moo’valous day!
…photos were taken at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and one year. Today I share 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and one year. Same layout, different colors. Enjoy!
You can check out other ages & posts here!

If you’ve been following my latest series of posts, I have been scrapping the formal birthday pictues of Phillip. You can check out previous posts HERE.
Today, I showcase age TWO. And John Deere!
Don’t you just love that DSP? It’s from the mollymoo store. Ok ok…ahem…it’s counterfeit. LOL. Creative Imaginations John Deere stickers…I have…ahem…FOUR sheets of them. So…I just randomly attached stickers to a 12 x 12 piece of Whisper White!
For this layout, I omitted the 2 inch strip that is usually on the 7 1/2 inch panel…why cover up all those nice John Deere images?
The “O” looks off…but it’s not…maybe it should be off so it would look straight? I dunno…but it’s straight. I used a ruler.
I hope you are enjoying the series and will be inspired to scrap your own formal photos after they have been enjoyed hanging on the wall…you can then open your scrapbook and enjoy the pictures AND your DSP / embellishment stash. 😉

Very rarely do I buy a non-SU! paper collection and buy the whole nine yards! I love this Basic Gray Archaic collection…I purchased the fibers, the chipboard, the rub-ons and the whole 12 x 12 paper pack. I even purchased the 6 x 6 paper pack. Told ya I had it bad. LOL.
I have a few sheets of the 12 x 12 paper pack left. That’s OK because I get to look at and ENJOY that beautiful paper and the pictures I have placed on that paper.
Sometimes it’s hard to pair up non-SU! paper with SU! colors…best thing to do is go for coordinating colors. In this case, the best colors from SU! were Always Artichoke and Bordering Blue. And yep…that “f” and “o” are stuck on the picture. LOL. And I have no problem with it. 😉

And I love Blues Clues! I found a clue! I found a clue!
Let’s get out our handy dandy notebook…ah. I found the Blues Clues print on the Nick Jr website! I paired it up with SU! Night of Navy & Pacific Point. (sigh) What can I say…I love Blue!
Did you watch Blues Clues with your kiddo?

Just graduated from elementary school! No not recently…but back in 2006. I’m taking a trip back down the memory lane this week scrapping the annual formal pics of my son, Phillip.
Same layout, different papers, different photo, different look and feel.
This is a combination of DSP from SU! Ski Slope and Tall Tales. I was pulling my colors from his necktie. I didn’t not want more black as a dominant color, nor did I want to compete with the red. The tie has blue, soft yellow & brown as well as black with white stripes. I chose the soft yellow and the chocolately brown. I had no idea what to use for my third color. Then I rememberd a DTGD challenge on SCS to “fall back on black”. As an accent, the black worked out well.
I decided to use SU! scallop trim border punch on the black strip to give it some punch. LOL.
The focus of these pages is the formal picture. All the pictures have a different feel and I liked the layout so much, so I chose to use the same layout for each picture. I love digging through my DSP stash. It feels GREAT to be using this stuff!

This was the last formal picture made while he had his braces.
I asked Phillip what colors would go good with this black & white picture…um…black & white, he said. LOL. I added the pop of Pacific Point! That DSP is a specialty pack…I think it’s actually a Halloween DSP pack. The name is Night & Day.
I busted out the new lace border punch. I know…lace on a boy page…but this doesn’t look girly at all!
This has to be my favorite page so far.
I just love the elegance of a black & white photo…but it’s a casual pose…and one handsome young man!
Same layout as Monday and Tuesday…different papers, different pictures, different looks.
This is fun! Thanks for stopping by! Have a moo’valous day!
Oh my goodness. I about cried after I got this one done. I guess I hadn’t had any time to ENJOY this picture. But I do now. See…
I found the perfect place for it to hang on the wall of my stamp room / office / game room / tv room.
Same layout as yesterday…but all patterned paper from SU!’s retired Prestwick. Numerals are SU! Timeless Type chipboard. I did add a Becky Higgins journaling card to this one, tucked under the photo.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a moo’valous day!
I’m getting up my courage to scrap all those formal 8 x 10 pictures from each birthday! Here’s number FIVE!
I’ve now created the first page for his baby book. LOL. It wasn’t too bad. I used glue dots to adhere the picture to a Night of Navy mat and then double matted with Early Expresso. I love how the Early Expresso brings out his dark brown sparkling eyes.
This layout was scraplifted from a page by Mary Larson as shown in Creating Keepsakes, a treasury of favorites. I die cut the title from SU!’s Simple Letters Alphabet. There might be journaling in the blank Soft Suede section under the title…then again, there might not.
It’s very clean & simple. I wanted to make the photo the focal point of the page…as it was the whole point of the page. LOL.
It feels good to be starting on this. I’ve thought about it for a long time. I want to look at these & enjoy these when I’m in the mood, not look at the box they are stored in.
Well…thanks for stopping by! Have a moo’valous day!
There are several paper piercing challenges out this week! I didn’t plan to use paper piercing on this SMASHbook page, but it ws sure screaming for it!
And whadayano! It fit the bill! Don’t ya just love it when a project just comes right on together!
I took the picture during tax season of a stack of returns. I love the naked chipboard…I found it on the SU! clearance rack – Timeless Type.
The manila tag is cut from old manila folders. I created a stack of these in various sizes a while back. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the largest tag fits perfectly in the SU! Rectangle Glassine envelope! The calendar, I printed from the web. And I freehand pierced around the numerals and pound sign so they would stand out against the background.
So glad I found a use for a sheet of that “office supply” DSP I purchased from SU! I’m pretty pleased with this page…it feels good to be using up the ole’ stash!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a moo’valous day!
