Emily's Name Frame

My niece Emily is turning 6 years old next week. This is the name frame I made for her. I used Georgia Peach DSP that I had left from the scrapbook I did a few weeks ago. As I was working on the name, I was wondering what I could use to dress it up a bit, and it hit me! My latest order arrived 2 days ago, and it contained a tin of beautiful felt flowers from Flower Fusion!! They match perfectly. I layered them up put a So Saffron brad in the center of each one. As I was browsing my stash for the brads, I found some buttons that just happened to be Old Olive. Perfect!! Now some Old Olive ribbon and we are in business!! This is why I love, love, love Stampin' Up! Everything matches perfectly!!





Here's a close up of the felt flowers. Aren't they gorgeous? The colors are so vibrant. I love how well they coordinate with the paper.





This one shows the letter close up of the letters. I printed her name on vellum, then cut out each letter and mounted them of different patterns of DSP. After I mounted the vellum on my DSP, I mounted that on Old Olive CS.

I really love how this turned out. I told my sister it was done, and she could only have it on one condition, that I could borrow it to take with me to the craft fair and hopefully get some orders.

There's another frame I made as a wedding gift back in November. You can view it here . I hope you have liked my name frame, and that you are inspired to try your own. Until next time, happy stampin!!

Georgie Peach DSP: Day 4

This is what I did with the cover of Katie's book. I covered my chipboard with Old Olive and Regal Rose craft ink, then heat embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. The Regal Rose ribbon is just tied around the whole cover.



And here is the very last layout, I promise. I paper pieced the truck and added a load of hearts. The tires are colored Regal Rose with my Water Color Wonder Crayons, and the hubcaps are Old Olive. Really, what girl wouldn't want a truck covered with flowers, and pink tires?

Georgia Peach DSP: day three

The album is finally finished and in the mail!! It was a bit more work than I anticipated, but I think it turned out to be so adorable. I'm glad it's done though, so I can move on to other things.

This is the very first page. Of course, her name is Katie Louise. The color isn't quite right in this photo, it's not as dark in real life. Sorry about the glare on the pages protector!

In case you can't read the words on the right side, they say "Dream, Cherish, Giggle and Play"

There's just something about this checked paper that I love. I think this is my favorite pattern in this package of DSP.

I'm lovin' this friends page. How cute are all those little kids playing their sports?

Tomorrow I'll show you the last layout and cover of the book. Then that will be the last of it. I promise!! Hope you like it and have a great day!!

Georgia Peach DSP: Day Two

As promised, here are the next 5 spreads for the scrapbook I'm working on. Most of you will probably recognize this first page on the left. It is a CASE out of the new Stampin' Success Magazine for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. I just loved the simplicity of it, and how one photo was the main focal point. The page on the right says "10 things we love about Katie." I used the journaling font CD and printed it off on my computer. I then stamped a bunch of words from the Amazing to Zany stamp set in Old Olive on Pretty in Pink cs and cut them out and ran them through my Xyron to make stickers so when her parents fill out the page, they can use one as an accent on every line. I think when it's filled in it will be adorable!

This is the family page. The definition is from Define Your Life, and it's the "together" stamp.

I think this is one of my favorite pages so far. Every little girl needs a "Mommy and Me" page!

This one, I'm not so sure about. I plan on going back to it and adding something, but I don't know what. When I'm done with the book I'll see what supplies are left and go from there.

After the Mommy page, this is my next favorite. "Daddy's Girl."

And that's all for now. I need to get this sent off within the next week, so I need to get a move on!! Maybe while Sam's at school tonight I can work on it. I've been distracted by picture frames lately!! Talk to you later!

Georgia Peach DSP: Day One

I'm working on a scrapbook for my DH's aunt. She lives in California, and when they were here for Thanksgiving, she asked me if I could make a book for her granddaughter's birthday. I originally wanted to use a Simply Scrappin' Kit, but didn't like the selection for a toddler girl. So, instead I used Georgia Peach DSP with the coordinating cardstock, ink and ribbon with my stamps. All supplies are Stampin' Up! I really like it so far. Some of the layouts were inspired by Split Coast Stampers, and some are my own. I think this book will have 30 pages, so I'll show you (5) 2-page spreads a day, and that should be 3 days worth, right? This is the "Bloomin' Beauty" page.

"Too Cute for Words"

"Cuddlebug"

"So Very Sweet"

"Love U"

Hope you like!!
