First page for Makaylah

You guys might remember me posting about my BFF having a baby not long ago. Well, I told my BFF that she needed a baby book so she could start keeping record of her new baby. We looked at Walmart and they didn't have one. I told her I would have to look at Hallmark and she said "Why don't you just make me a scrapbook". Well of course I am going to do it, how can I tell my BFF no?? *okie laughs*.

This is MaKaylah's first page. It now had the picture of her right after she was born on it.

Supplies Used:
Cricut Expression
Cricut New Arrival cart
Cricut Nursery Rhymes cart
Prism Cardstock
K & Company Hopscotch patterned paper and chipboard embellies
Prima Flowers
Cat Eye Chalk Ink
Brads
Liquid Pearls
Pearl Pen



I did the name with Nursery Rhymes and then added Liquid Pearls to add some accent to the letters. I wish the shadow layer didn't have the filled in areas on some of the letters but beside that I absolutely love the font on Nursery Rhymes. I didn't think I wanted this cart but my friend ScrapperDelighted convinced me it was a good deal since she was able to pick it up at Michael's for $9.99 *okie thinks just about any cart is a good deal at that price*.



I didn't think this page would need a lot of journaling and I wasn't sure if my BFF would want to do journaling but I thought this cut from New Arrival would be good to add information that was pertaining to the picture. I did cut off the words "parents" and "name" since I didn't think that needed to be on there.

I added Liquid Pearls, squeezing very very lightly, to dot on the letters and then a few larger dots for the colon's.


I just got some of these Prima's, the large hydrangea's, and I thought they would look good with this paper. I used some of my smaller Prima's to fill in a little. I used the Pearl Pen to add flower centers to the smaller flowers.

The word daughter and the little butterfly are from the Hopscotch collection and I was glad I had them to go on the layout.

Ya'll will be seeing more layouts in the future for this baby scrapbook.

    Such a special page for a special little gift from heaven. Pages like this make me wish I had a little girl to scrap for but I only have two grandboys and at 4 and 6 they are all boy.
