Another Onsie Advice Book

Here is another Onsie Advice Book I recently made for an On-Line Order!

This one was for a baby girl and the colors used were pale yellow, sage green, and pale pink!

Gate Fold Book - My First EVER!!!

Hi Everyone,

I saw a Gate Fold book at my local scrapbooking store and fell in love with the concept. I knew I had to make one... My sister in law recently had a baby boy and figured it would make a very cute keepsake for them.

The back page and the two cover pages are cut from Chipboard and covered with cardstock. I cut the items for the "toy box" on the front with the cricut and mainly used the New Arrivals Cart. I wanted it to look like the toys were in the box and falling out! Once all my pages were covered and cut to the appropriate size, I used my BIA to bind the book together! It really was not hard, just getting the items on the front to line up and open correctly was tricky. I also didn't think about this until after but the shapes used on the front would need a back cover if (when opened) you could see the back side... hopefully that made sense! I added some cute poems and such to the book to personalize it a bit and added the baby's name to the front (with Thickers) and one of the inside pages (with Stickles)!

I think for my first gate fold book, it turned out pretty darn good. I really hope they liked it.

Recent Creations

Hi Everyone,

Wow its been a month since I have posted on my blog. I cannot believe it has been that long. We have had a busy month... We took our first family trip to Texas to visit my sister. This was Aiden and Aleena's first ever plane ride and they did GREAT!! Apart from the little crying during take off and landing, they were troopers!

I have been busy with Etsy Orders.. I wanted to share the last few things that I created for my Etsy Shoppers:

First was this Onsie Advice Book. The customer wanted it to match the theme and invitation so the colors requested were white and blue. I have to say, i think this is my best onsie advice book by far. I loved the inking around the edges, I think it just added that little extra something. I have not changed my etsy shop picture for this listing to show this book. I just was super happy with it!


Next was this Baby Bottle Advice Book I just finished. This customer wanted custom colors of Yellow, Orange, and Green. This is the first bottle book I have sold since posting it in my Etsy Shop. I think this one turned out a lot better the the original. I even embellished the "milk" in the bottle with glittery stickles glitter glue. I was very happy with the way this book turned out and hope the customer likes it!

Thanks for visiting and post a comment or two if you like anything you see!

Thanks!

Baby Shower Advice Books

These are two baby shower advice books I created. I cut out the inside "pages" with the New Arrivals cartridge. The baby bottle is the "daddy's" advice book with advice cards filled out by other daddys. The Onsie Advice book is for the new Mommy to Be! We placed these cards on tables during the shower so people could fill them out as they enjoyed the shower.

I then cut the back and front for each book with chipboard, covered it with cardstock and embellished.

What a great keepsake to hand down through the generations?
