Baby Boy Gift

Here is a gift I put together for my girlfriend's new son.

I used CTMH's Clear Pillow Box and covered it with patterned paper from my scrap bin. Inside the clear pillow box is a diaper shirt. It just so happened that the outfit that I bought came with a pillow gift box as well. 

The tag was made with CTMH's New Arrival stamp set and I don't remember what colour ink that I borrowed from Shanna to make the tag. I made this during one of our scrapbooking days together at her house.

I tied both gifts together with satin white ribbon from Fabricland.

My grandma's 90th Birthday was April 18th and my grandpa's 90th Birthday is today. On April 20th we had an Open House with cake & coffee for friends & family to attend to celebrate both birthdays. I decided this year to make my grandparents' cards similar since we were celebrating them together.

I have submitted my cards to:

I inked up one of CTMH's Foam Texture Tools with CTMH Pear Ink and another one with CTMH's Sky Ink. I rubbed the foam texture tool in a circular motion beginning off the square and working my way onto the square.

The blended effect where the two colours meet looks much better in person. These photos do my cards no justice.

Since, I am teaching a workshop tomorrow, I celebrated National Scrapbooking Day a day early with my cousin, Brandi and my girlfriend, Lee-Ann. We spent the day scrapbooking in my store/scrap room while the store was open to the public today.

It was a great day. I planned to spend the day working on blog challenges and that is just what I did. You will see what I accomplished today over the weekend.

Here's hoping that you get to spend a bit of time in your scrap room this Scrappy Holiday Weekend.

Happy Scrappy Day!
