Baby's First Christmas Layout by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here with a new layout for you.
Have you already started thinking about Christmas?
I sure am! So, to get in the Christmas mood I am scrapping some pictures from our family lunch last year.
Do you remember my lovely nice Greta?
I made a layout to remember her first Christmas: she was only a month old and she was really adorable in her cute festive dress.

To create the layout I used many SRM stickers Chrismtas themed products: check out Chrismtas category in the shop, it is full of amazing items!
I chose a background paper that perfectly matched my picture colors, and started decorating: I chose to stick with traditional Christmas colors.
I layered the picture on patterned papers and used SRM stickers to add interest to the page.

 I added some wood veners to add texture.

I adhered circles stickers on white cardstock, fussy cutted them and adhered them with foam tape to make them pop from the background and add depth. I love this technique, it is one of my go to in almost each layout!

I used small calendar numbers stickers to create the date on a sticker label, I handwrote the journal with black pen from Le Pen 4 Piece Set - Dark Colors and added the word Christmas from the Baby first year stickers sheet.

I hope you liked my layout and wish you a good day.

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Baby's First Year Mini Album by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here to share a mini album of a baby: my husband cousin had a little girl almost a year ago, so I decided to make a mini album to document each month of her first year.The mini isn't finished yet, since by niece Greta is now 9 months, but I want to show you what I made so far.

This is the cover: I used some baby themed SRM stickers and glittered hearts die-cut with cutting machine.

The mini is a very small, cute, accordion mini album: to create the structure cut a 12x12" pink cardstock in 3 strips of 4"x12" and score them at every 4". Adhere together two strips, cut the other one in two identical parts and glue them to the beginning and end of the previously made accordion. This is the final result:

For the inside pages, I chose this cute patterned paper with months on it. I cut each month and adhered it onto a piece of patterned paper: this papers measures 3x8", scored in half in the long side, and they will contain the picture inside, on the bottom flap.

Adhere each paper to the structure: you will have 4 pages free from pictures, I decided to place them in the beginning to document Greta's first day of life, between month and in the back cover.

This is the first page, to document the first day of life: I used Baby plans stamps and I added handwritten dates with black pen from Le Pen 4 Piece Set - Dark Colors.

The top flap of each page is filled with SRM stickers: I used Baby's First Year-Girl stickers and Calendar Numbers/Small for the date. 

  In each page I used a lot of lovely baby themed SRM products. I didn't add dimensional parts, because I wanted the mini to stay flat once closed: I only used stickers and die-cuts:

I love the cute "milestones" stickers from Baby's first year stickers.

I adhered some of the stickers to scalloped punched pieces circles to create fun embellishments:

 Here you can see another examples of how I decorated the pages without picture.

My niece is the cutest, isn't she? I love her so much!

I already made also the gift box to contain the album: the mini perfectly fits into a kraft window box A2. I embellished it with a sticker, sequin and a jute twine bow.
I will gift it to her parents at her first birthday.

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Baby Calendar by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today, I'm sharing a sweet baby calendar with you. 

I thought this would be fun gift to give to someone who is expecting...they can completely customize it to their liking. :)

I simply only added a 'cover' to the front of the calendar,which I used some patterned paper and kraft cardstock for a mat. For the back of the calendar I just added kraft cardstock only. 

To tie things together for a gift, I added a little strip of kraft cardstock around my calendar and then added a couple doilies with a baby sticker in the middle. I also I added all the cardstock stickers pieces/etc. into a larger glassine bag and slipped it underneath the doilies and kraft strip. Simple and sweet, yeah?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!
