My Lucky Charm

A little Luck of the Irish for you today. This one will go in the current gift album I'm working on. It's 8x8 in size.

The pattern pieces all come from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. The title is from "My Lucky Charm" collection. The rest are all from the Clover Bear set.

I used the clover and made it really BIG, including the mat, then I shrunk the clover and made it a couple sizes to make all the smaller ones. Very happy with how this one came together.

Here's one more look at the paper piecings-

Have a wonderful Friday!

Be sure to stop over at LSHD and check out all the cute new patterns from this week.

Goodnight Moon

Well I got invited to another baby shower, so I guess that means another baby book as a gift. I'm starting this one off with a sleeping baby layout.

I used the Goodnight Moon set from over at Little Scraps of Heaven. These little sheep are just too cute.

Here's a close up of the piecings and the title.

Have a wonderful day! And be sure to top over at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs to see all the new patterns from this week.

Scooby Doo Where R you?

Here's a quick one I forgot to share. It's another 8x8 baby layout. I thought it would be fun for documenting the first words. 

I used the It's a Mystery Dress Up set over at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.

Here's a close up of my Scooby Doo. I also used the barrel from the Barrel and Crate freebie. It's now a dollar download.

I then sized a bunch of talk bubbles and scattered them around the layout. The pattern paper is from Basic Grey Waggs and Whiskers collection.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!

Super Bowl Sunday!

We like football and enjoy the Superbowl festivities but we're not fanatics. So today we watched our boy win a  District Hockey game and then relaxed for the afternoon. Tonight we will head over to our nephews house to watch the BIG game with family. But in the mean time I just might have to go make a layout and use this Amazing pattern set from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. 

Now how cute is that! I know I'll have some pictures of the food spread and everyone watching the new 62" Flat Screen.  (Men and their TV's  LOL) The set is called Super Bowl Party.

Today I want to share this 2 page 8x8 layout with you. It went into my friends baby boy book.

This layout uses the Thanksgiving Turkey and Pig pattern set. Every time I see the pig he makes me smile- "Eat Turkey".

I hope you enjoy the Superbowl and the commercials!!

Built Boy Tough

Good afternoon! I thought I'd share yet another 8x8 baby album page with you today. I used the Built Boy Tough file from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs for this one. 

The set looks like this:

My layout turned out like this:

Here are a couple close ups of the piecings:

These little construction bears are so cute.

There are some really wonderful new sets for sale at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. I thought I'd give you a couple peeks.

Enjoy your weekend! I'm off to the scrapbook room to work on a mini album for an upcoming challenge over on the LSHD Design Team blog. We have a weekly challenge going on over there be sure to stop by and check us out.

Birthday Monkeys part 2!

I Love the Birthday Monkeys so much I made 2 different layouts. This one went into a little boy baby album.

The paper piecings are from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs, Birthday Monkeys collection. This is what the set looks like.

Here is a closer look at the two sides. The right side has two pull out tags. They can be used for extra journaling or photos.

And a close up of each of the piecings:

This set is so much fun to play with. I hope they've inspired you to get creative.

Birthday Monkeys!

I fell in LOVE with the Birthday Monkey set the minute it became available over at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. This is one of my favorite sets to play with. Here is a Little girl 8x8 Birthday layout I created for my friends baby album.

Here's a close up of the left side:

and the right side:

And just in case you wanted to see detailed close ups of the piecings:

8x8 albums are so much fine to create. They really do come together quickly. I hope you all have a great week. Here in Michigan we are bracing for some "Snow" towards the end of the week. Looks like winter is here.

Baby Album pages.

 Well here are a few more baby album pages. This first one uses the Peter Pan collection from Little Scraps Of Heaven Designs. I put the journaling card inside a mini paper bag. The bag front holds the title. She's adorable, who doesn't love Tink!

This one comes to us from Treasure Box Designs. It was called Cat and Friends. I could not find it on their site any more so I have no link for you. 

This one is another LSHD piece. It's from the Water Babies collection. I used the "baby on a towel". So precious. 

This last one is from Designs on Cloud 9. I used her Wonderland collection. The White Rabbit knows all about the passage of time.

This album turned out adorable. I still have a few more pages to share but alas you'll have to wait till the next post.

I hope you're going to get your craft on today. I know I am. So many ideas so little time.

One Month!

Here is yet  another Baby Album page. We thought it would be fun to give her a page for each month. That way she could just use a random cute picture, taken sometime in the month, to document how the little one is changing. This is what I did for month 1.

She can easily add some journaling strips to record the story.

To make the cute little baby I used a pattern from Beary Sweet Designs. She has the cutest set called "Elfing Around". It's the Elf on the Shelf set!

I choose to use the little one hugging her knees and turn her into a baby girl. Sometimes you have to think outside the box. She is perfect for this layout.

I hope you all have a GREAT Friday night!

Sisters

Sisters are so important to those of us that are lucky enough to have them. When you become a BIG sister and your 4 it's pretty amazing. My girlfriend Becky will soon have 2 daughters. I'm sure there are many "Sister" layouts in her future. I thought this one would be a wonderful 1st "Big sister- Little sister" layout for her baby album.

I used the "Big Sister Little Sister" pattern set from Little Scrap of Heaven Designs for this one.

Here's a close up of the two pieces.

I can't wait to put the whole book together for Becky. She's going to love it. I have a few more left to show you . So stay tuned for more baby pages.

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Polar Love!

Today I'm going to show you the front page of a baby album I'm helping put together for a friend. I mention often a message-board I chat on, Scrap Sisters Studio, the girls over there are throwing a virtual baby shower for our friend Becky. I'm in-charge of putting together the baby's scrapbook. So we started a post and came up with a bunch of page ideas, then we divided them up with everyone picking a couple pages to make. I made the front cover:

The paper piecings are from My Scrap Chick. This is the original pattern set:

I took the little bear peeking out from behind the arm of the couch and turned her into the baby. Wrapped her up in a blanket and placed her on mommy's lap. I eliminated the bears holding the picture frame as my 8x8 page size didn't allow for them. I also eliminated the bear popping up from behind the couch. The Drass Family has 4 members counting the new baby.

I'm very please with how it turned out. Stay tuned I will be posting some more of my Baby Book pages this week. I still have a few more to make.

Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon.
