Hello Tiny Toes By Melinda Spinks
Do you remember the feelings you had the first time you saw your precious baby? This is one of those scrapbook pages that will remind you of those precious moments with your newborn. This is when journaling becomes so important. Take some time and express your feelings of that day. You can even write a sweet letter to your child expressing your feelings as well. We all need inspiration and encouragement to help us capture the first years of our baby’s life so we can remember those “tiny toes” forever!
From the baby’s birth to those first exciting days at home, every memorable moment makes for a perfect scrapbook layout. Melinda Spinks, a fabulous designer for Doodlebug Designs. did such a beautiful job creating this darling layout. I love how she preserved the memory of her son’s tiny little toes, along with the journaling that preserves the story of it all. Melinda added stitching as an outstanding embellishing idea and the perfect personal touch. Click here and I will take you over so you can see more on how she created this adorable layout. You will want to jump right in and create a baby layout of your own.
Thank You For Your Kindness By Keia Shipp-Smith
Do you have Inktense water soluble pencils that are still sitting in the original box? It is a great time to pull them out and use them. If you do not have them but love this card, you can paint with the watercolor pencils or paint you have. Don’t be afraid to jump in and give this technique a try. Once you’ve tried it, it’s all over because it’s all you will want to do!
The beauty of using watercolor pencils is that they leave an intense, translucent, ink-like effect. Keia used a fine tip watercolor brush to soften the colors. She then added dimension to her card by adding three die cut butterlies, a die cut border, and a sentiment to complete her card. Using a simple design can become so elegant. Let me take you on over to Confessions Of A Paperholic where you will be able to see all of the supplies you will need, along with how Keia created this beautiful card.
