My Dabble with Scrapbooking...

Here is the scrapbook I made for my brother and SIL as a gift when my nephew (finally!) arrived. I haven't done much scrapbooking at all but thought it makes a nice new baby gift. I used the gorgeous set of baby stamps from Ladybug Crafts Ink and some papers by Making Memories. I think it looks ok for a newbie scrapper. All the new parents need to do with the first 6 pages is add photos, the rest of the album is up to them...

Supplies:
Scrapbook - 8x8 Papermania
Paper, stickers and epoxy dots - Little Kids by Making Memories
Images and sentiments - on front cover: Baby Blanket from Lili of the Valley; on pages: Baby Baby from Ladybug Crafts Ink (I LOVE this set), clear baby sentiments by American Crafts, ticket sentiments by Whimsy Stamps from Quixotic Paperie
Cardstock - Bazzill kraft
Ribbons - Crafty Ribbons and stash
Sentiment ribbon - Pink Petticoat
Tools - Martha Stewart photo corner punch

    It's a great gift idea! Love that the parents will be able to have a nice album without needing to put too much time on it as young parents have other things on their mind!
