About A Boy

My scrapbooking trend continues!  My best friend has the most adorable twins ever.  Yes, I said it.  But she also has the sweetest little baby and up until now I haven't had a decent picture of him solo to work it.  That all changed last week when I finally caught the little stinker smiling at me.  Yes!  I couldn't wait to scrapbook these pictures.  Brandy has been bemoaning how the baby doesn't have his own scrapbook page for weeks, or actually months now.  Oh, the horror!  

Well no more, I have finally added him to my list of "been there, done that."  And I did it quite well, if I may so myself.  Have you ever have one of those scrapping experiences where the page turned out just as you imagined it would?  I am in love with this page.  I started with the three airplane images from the Silhouette store that I downloaded not long ago, knowing that I was going to use them for something.  And of course, now that I've used a filmstrip I had to do that again.  Besides, filmstrips make it easier to choose pictures - you can use more than just one or two!  Or even three or four!

I had the best time making this page.  I was totally in that zone.  You know the one - I call it the Scrapper's High.  This page is exactly what I wanted it to be and Brandy is overjoyed.  Without further adieu, this is Nico's  About a Boy.








The paper is from DCWV's new stacks Sweet Tangerine and Sky's the Limit.  The wood veneer and sequin embellishments are from Studio Calico.  I hope you love this page as much as I do.  I kissed it goodbye and let Brandy take it home this evening (Monday!).

Thanks so much for stopping by!

  5. Wow! I love the use of filmstrips for the smaller pictures. The vellum airplanes were a cool touch and so were the sequins - who knew they could work for boys too?! Thanks for the inspiration - I think I have a box of sequins somewhere ;).
