Mrs. Giraffe and me

Oh how small our baby was back then... 5 weeks ago haha! But seriously, she was so small and cute and still liked to be swaddled! Her best friend was the Sophie giraffe, that we renamed Mrs. Giraffe and sang a song about Mrs. Giraffe to soothe Natalie when she was upset!

I was going to use watercolors but ended up pulling out a good old box of crayons for this one!

I used the doily, acrylic flowers, and stickers from the More Happy Little Moments class kit (Maggie Holmes' class kit) and another layout finished fairly quick!

Monkey Face

So today my daughter is sick (me too) and was feeding every hour... I had about 10-15 minute intervals when she was asleep to scrap so I worked on this layout in my "More Happy Little Moments" book! It is strange to scrap 10 minutes at a time!!

Anyway I printed this pic that I put on Instagram of our little monkey face girl!

I stamped the cameras on one side and added washi tape to the other (pretty obvious), added some paper from the class kit and some other random bits and called it a day!

A few months ago I took the class "More Happy Little Moments" with Maggie Holmes over at Studio Calico. I knew I would want to make a book for my daughter, but since I hadn't had her yet, I held off on starting the book (other than the cover). I've finally decided that I'm going to put Instagram snapshots and any extra photos that won't make it into a 12x12 layout, into this book! Here's a couple pages I worked on today of an Instagram shot of Natalie in her car seat!

I cut the car from the Silhouette, which is an Amy Tangerine cut file from the Silhouette Online store. I used vellum paper and just outlined it with pen to show up a little better. I also used her Thickers from her Cut & Paste line for the title.

I punched some pinking circles from the right side of the page, and went around each one with some watercolors to make the shape show up better. I backed with some paper that came in the More Happy Little Moments kit, and added some digital diecuts from Hello Forever that also came in the kit. Finally, I just added a bunch of rub-ons to fill the spaces!
