January Week 4 layout for Being Scrappy...

Morning Everyone!

This week I am using the 'Cut & Paste' papers by My Mind's Eye from the January Being Scrappy Kit. I had a lovely photo of Lee's brother Chris with his new baby son Ralph.

Use the spotty 'Hey You' paper as the base for the layout.

Cut an 8" x 8" piece of the 'Bliss' paper, ink the edges and stick down down in the centre.

Next cut a 11" x 1.5" strip of the 'Smile' paper, ink the edges and stick down just above the bottom of the 'Bliss' piece.

Now cut a 7.5" x 5" piece of the clouds 'Bliss Delight' paper, cut a banner into one end, ink the edges and stick down.

Ink the edges of the journaling card and stick down to the right side of layout.

Attach your 7" x 5" photo.

Cut some strips of the 'Bliss Jovial' paper and use these for your journaling.

Add a title using the Thickers Alpha that comes with the Kit. I used a mini alpha from my own stash as well. I also addes some of the little square crosses from the Thickers Alpha.

Have a look at Niki's blog to see the two layouts she has designed this week. The Being Scrappy January Kit is available here for a limited time.

Thanks for looking!

Our little nephew...

Hi Everyone!

Lee and I became an auntie and uncle for the first time yesterday! Lee's middle brother Chris's wife Louise gave birth to a very sweet baby boy just before midnight last night. He came almost 3 weeks early, was 6lbs 13oz and is called Ralph Henry Baldwin. We are yet to meet him but hope to very soon...here is the first photo we have been sent.

So of course I needed to make a card as wasn't prepared for Ralph being early! I made two baby boy cards as Tom in my team at work is also having a baby boy (well, his girlfriend Jen is and was being induced this weekend). We haven't given them out yet but they won't be looking at my blog so here is what I came up with...

I haven't made that many cards recently unless I have been at one of Niki's card classes so it was nice to dig out the stamps and have a play.

Thanks for looking!
