Honeymoon 8x8 Book

I made this 8x8 album for Ben for our three-year anniversary. I had never made a small album before, and I loved it! 12x12 pages have lots more room, but since I don't use a lot of enlarged photos, the pictures themselves don't make as much of an impact as they do on the smaller sized pages.

I kept this book pretty simple - mostly cardstock, papers, stickers, and rub-ons. It went by relatively quickly and pretty painless. I will def. be doing some smaller books again in the future - they work great for containing everything from one specific event or trip.

Funny side note... on my camera at the time I had the date setting on... except it had gotten reset somehow and thus every single one of my honeymoon pictures from March 2005 are stamped as if it were February 1994. People will look back and think I took this honeymoon when I was eleven. Forehead slap.

Baby Boy Book & Onesies

So for the most recent soon-to-arrive baby in our office, I made some super-cute onesies! This was my first foray into baby fashion. The parents-to-be, love some of the same TV shows I do and have similar sense of humor, so I was able to go out on a not-so-traditional limb with these! I am confessing here and now that I stole borrowed the LOST and Don't Tase Me Bro designs from some far more creative soul off the internet, but the other two are my own (not the clip art, obvs). Check it out:



This one was my favorite, although I realized mere seconds after ironing it on that I misspelled Schrute. Sorry Dwight!


Here is the baby board book I made for the same couple... I absolutely love these colors and papers, yum yum yum!

Baby Book II

I've been wanting to post this one for a while, but I was waiting until I finally was able to give it to the mother-to-be!

This was a book I did for my friend and co-worker, Shanna. She and her husband are not finding out the gender of the baby ahead of time, so I was challenged to make something gender-neutral. Plus, she was doing the nursery in red. I will tell you now that there is very little baby scrapbooking stuff out there that isn't either for a boy or girl or at least in pastels! So this was a tough project for me, and I was really helped with ideas by Tammy at Scrappin' Memories, a local shop. (Here's her blog: http://www.tnscrapnmemories.blogspot.com/.)

Anyway, I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this turned out - so sweet and classic looking.

Board Books

These adorable board books are perfect for a simple baby shower gift or young child's birthday. I hand cover each sturdy board book with coordinating papers, stickers, ribbon, and embelishments to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake. All you do is fill in the photos of your choosing!

A completed custom book runs anywhere from $25-35, depending on the size and materials.

Here are some images of a 6" book I did for my friend Heidi's baby...
