21st Birthday Album

Are you all enjoying the sun?  It is VERY warm here today, too warm for me, but then can't have everything can we?

Well, my baby girl is going to be the grand old age of 21 in June.  She has a new job and a new place to live from the end of next week.  So I guess I will be spending this weekend painting and decorating her new bedroom.

I have been slowly making her a scrapbook album.  It's slowly getting there and will be finished for her birthday [I hope]. Sooooooooo many photos to choose from though.

HELLO BABY !!

My baby girl.

The pink spotty paper is from my stash.

The floral and the butterfly papers are basic grey.

Ribbons and buttons from stash.

The yellow tag behind the photo has journalling about how long Kelsey was when she was born and the midwife measured her twice.......she was a tad under two feet long!!  She is now 6 foot tall.

Under the scalloped flap there are ten smaller photos of the night she was born and when she was introduced to her big brother.



CHILLIN'

Paper is Basic Grey Cupcake-Sprinkles

Letters are Thickers highlighted with White Stickles

Tag, buttons and ribbons from stash.

Ice Cream embellishment is and made.

I put a stiched circle round the main photo to highlight her face.

Her face was an absolute picture, with every lick and mouthful

But she would not give up and seemed to get the hang of enjoying it in the end.

HAPPY CAMPERS

Papers were free from Scrapbook Magazine.

Flowers cut out and mounted on Foam Squares.

Tree truck cut from card and the top layer peeled off, then inked to highlight.

Journalling strip cut into seperate words and edges inked.

Journalling reads,

Warm weather and a trip to Nannys = a washing line, an old sheet and a bit of Nanny Magic.





I hand cut the title letters and inked the edges, they were mounted on Foam Squares at different heights.

DIVA

Black and white cardstock

Photo collage made with Picassa

DIVA letters die cut using Sissix Notepad using Hollographic paper and mounted onto black to stand out from White.

Small letters die cut using Sissix Skittle Dee Do from black card.

Embellishments die cut using Sissix Sizzlits Sparkle using hollographic paper with a Clear gem in the centre of each one.

She was a Diva even when she was a toddler.

Take Care and enjoy the sunshine
