Well, thank you so much for all your kind words!!! Our family is quite touched by all the support and excitement from you, thank you!
This is our newest little munchkin....Cole Anderson. I have to say that I'm feeling slightly guilty that my fourth child actually has 5 scrapbook pages completed and he's only a day old......talk about unfair!!! I hope you're up for some baby projects, baby scrapbooking and baby cards as this is what I'm sure you'll be seeing on my blog in the next little bit as I work on birth announcements, thank yous and scrapbooking. (I'll make sure I include other things I've been working on too....just let me know when you are sick of seeing my family:)
This first page came together really quickly as I simply added a bunch of different layers of Designer Series Paper. I changed the Opacity of the papers so they weren't quite as intense and vibrant on the pages. I'm looking forward to seeing what they look like when they get printed. Feel free to click on the photos as well to enlarge them so you can see the details.
This second page is a little more personal, and very simple but I wanted to share with you the ease of a layout. I wanted to document Cole's birth and entry into our family so this page really is about the journaling. I simply created a few different text boxes (one for the upper portion, one for the full text that is above the bottom photos, one for the title and one for the subtitle). I wanted the pictures of Cole to be more predominant so I kept them in colour and I put the photos of Adam and I in black and white. I hope you like the pages and again, thanks for the warm welcome!
On a little side note, thank you to those that have taken advantage of my BABY SPECIAL (CLICK HERE FOR ALL THE DETAILS) I have had a few of you ask if rather than putting in an online order and receiving free product can I enter the order in and just give you catalogue price no shipping or taxes. For sure I can do this for you, although it isn't quite as great a deal, but if that's what you'd prefer, please email me at adamsum@yahoo.com before midnight on Sunday and you'll get in on the deals!
Also, here is an update for my upcoming classes(I know, I know, it seems crazy to be having these clubs BUT I already have them prepped and ready!):
- Monday November 9 - Kristy's Scrapbooking Group
- Wednesday November 11 - Scrapbooking Group #2
- Thursday November 12 - Punch Club
- Monday November 16 - Template Club (NOTE THE DATE CHANGE)
Thanks again and have a wonderful Sunday....I know we will!!!!
Take care,
Heather
Congratulations Heather on your new baby boy! Glad to see you are both doing well! Sorry I missed the annoucement, I was away visiting my brother who just had their first baby a couple months ago.
