Still working on Matthew's mini album

Still working on baby Matthew's mini album.
I sure wish I had the Cricut cartridge "Baby Steps". It would have saved me a lot of fussy cutting and playing around with my drawing. And you all know I ain't no artist, lol.
The carriage wasn't to bad as I used my Spellbinders circle and some border punches. The back is to journal. I inked one of my recipe cards for that.

These baby bottles took me all night last night to make. The only pattern I had was a stencil that was 8x10 inches. So I photocopied it and shrunk it down to the size I wanted. Then I shrunk it down a tad more for the pattern paper and the writing journals for the back.
                            
 For these onsies I just played around until I came up with a shape that worked. Then used the scallop die for the ruffles. I hope they don't look to girly with the ruffles.
I made the onsies into a flip book.
 I attached binding ribbon to the shoulder part of the onsies so they can flip up. I am probably going to add some journal blocks to the backs of them. There are 3 flip pages.
I am hoping that I can finish this up tomorrow, but I think I am getting ahead of myself, teehee.

Onto My Day:
The girls were off of school and work today. Hubby had to go in though.
I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon, so that kind of hindered my time working on the mini.
That's about it for today.
Wish me luck on finishing my mini tomorrow :)

  16. It looks great Tracy, you are so darn creative, love the idea of using the tape on the onesie, had been playing with something similar that I wanted to have fold out on the front of a card (yeah i know will be a tad ovedone and be like a scrap page has exploided on the card lol) and the tape might just work. Will have ago today and see if it works. Have a great day.night, Wendy
