Roxybonds Creates

My brother and his lovely wife are finally making me an AUNT!!!!  I'm over the moon excited!  I love babies, but I am DONE creating my own.  I cannot wait to love on, squeeze, kiss, snuggle and SPOIL their baby!  They are having a baby girl too :)  My mom and I threw them a couples/family shower and it was my job to create decorations for the shower.  I took it upon myself to create some gifts as well.  The theme we went with was Baby Carriages, in their colors:  Grey, Pink and White. JOURNAL:  I used an older CTMH Journal, Dotty For You papers, Sweet Leaf Ribbon, Friendship Alphabet and Polka Dot Alphabet. EMILY BANNER:  I cut the Baby Carriages  with the Graphically Speaking Cricut Cartridge.  I used Posterboard Alphabet for the letters.

Have you seen the new Magic book???  This all new How-To book by Jeanette Lynton is amazing!  It will teach you how to make your scrapbook pages truly "Magic"al!  The patterns alone are fantastic, but the details of making them interactive are super cool!  This weekend my Kit of the Month club will be working with the Magnifique Kit.  In addition to the featured scrapbook pages in the kit, I am teaching them 2 layouts from Magic. This layout is called "Now you see it"  I created both pages of the layout, but not as a 2-page spread.  This is the left side layout: This is the right side page.  I cut a "hole" in my base page to show the slide out piece.  When laying in the album, you'll be able to see the journaling.  You can pull the little metal tab to see the additional pictures when the piece is slid out.  Supplies: All CTMH unless noted Magnifique Workshop on the go Z1340 Lagoon Mini Medleys     ...
