National Scrapbooking Day ~ Challenge #12

Challenge #12 ~ Kid Theme

Phewf! Finally finished with all 12 challenges!

I feel like a terrible crafty mom, because after over a year since my daughter has been born, I have not been able to do anything in her scrapbook. The last page I made was before she was born. There are only 4 pages in her scrapbook, and they are all ultrasound pictures. So....I took this opportunity to use this challenge to get to work on my daughter's scrapbook.

I've just got to say...when I was a kid (and at times even now) I loved looking through my baby book. My baby book was nothing special...more like a family album than anything else. Because of this, I wanted my daughter's scrapbook to be something VERY special for her. I want her to be able to look through it when she is older and feel special that I did so much work for her. That's my hope and I really do hope she'll enjoy seeing herself as a baby and watching her grow up.

Challenge #11 ~ Use Pink, Green, and Black in a project

The challenges that challenge us to use different colors always stump me at first. It really is a challenge sometimes :) I love being challenged when it comes to crafting!

I really like how this card turned out! I think the scales I made with glitter glue on the fish are awesome! Haha...maybe I'm tooting my own horn a little ;)

What better way to "do" summer than a day at the beach :)

Challenge #7 ~ Scrapbook Page

I'll be honest...I haven't made a scrapbook page in years! This challenge gave me the perfect opportunity to scrap some pictures of my pets. Sadly, since these pictures were taken, we had to put my dog (Minnie) to sleep. She was 17 years old. You'd never guess she was that old by her spirit...always full of smiles and kisses.

Challenge #6 ~ Incorporate a tag

I love this silly elephant. One of Robyn's older videos gave me the inspiration for this card.
