Baby's First Year Book....

I've been wanting to share with
 the you the baby book I made for my new
Great Niece Isabella.
It's a Baby's First Twelve month book.
I have lots of photos to share with you.
 
Lets start with the cover...


I printed out her name and the title on vellum paper.A few rhinestones added some bling.


Lots of pretty pink ribbons were tied to the binder rings.


Here's the inside cover and the first month.
I used one of the packages of scrapbooking papers from JoAnns. 
There were lots of paper with glitter on the paper.


A growth chart to keep a record of the baby's monthly changes.
I made the chart up myself. 

Want  a copy?

I'll tell you at the end of this post how to get it.


More BLING!



Some texture was added
 by wrapping a pretty yarn around the
 "Baby's Schedule Chart".


This was a paper I found at a store.
I needed quite a few of these and they didn't have enough.

I just made copies for the additional ones I needed.
I embellished it by adding a sticker that said "Baby" and sewing a Zig Zag stitch around the edge with my sewing machine.




Month one...


Month Two and Three...
I added a smaller page for jourling each month.



Each month has a number for the month. 
 I printed the number out on colored scrapbooking paper.
I then  cut it out with a punch and glued it to a white disk with a silver ring around it. 
 I found these at the office supply store.

Want a copy of the numbers?
Read on.....


I love using silk flowers. 

Here's a way to save money...

Go  to Michaels and purchase a bush of flowers
and use them individually. 
 It's much less expensive than going to the scrapbooking store.


Month four and five...



Don't you just love gerber daiseys?


Month Six...
I love adding pockets to the pages.
It's a great way to store special baby items and photos.


Month Seven...


Pretty Buttons and rhinestones embellish the page.



More pages I copied and added to the book
 to allow for recording special memories.



Stop by later this week to see the rest of the book, 
 months eight through twelve.

Now if you want a copy of numbers, sayings, cover words and growth chart here's how you can get one.

Some pretty door cans and a copy of the latest

Earlier this week I shared with you the beginning of  the "Baby's First 12 Month Book", that I created.   If you missed it you can see it HERE.  Let me share with you the rest of the book, starting with Month One. I put a pocket on the page to hold any special memories.  Can you see the number one in the upper right corner?  For each month I also added a smaller page insert titled
"Special Moments to Remember".  I stamped the bottom of the page with the word Blessed.


I used my sewing machine to stitch around the edge with a Pink zig Zag stitch.  Who says sewing is just for fabric?



I love to add pretty ribbons and rhinestones.



Month two is labeled with a pretty flower.


A pretty pink polka dot ribbon for month three.


More polka dot ribbon that was wrapped around the page.
 A cute little bird at the top to month four.


A Pretty PINK flower and lots of room to add
a cute picture of the baby at Five months old.


Welcome Baby....  Six months.


Months Six and Seven....
I love the color combination and all the glitter and glam!


This is my favorite page. 
 Isn't the check ribbon and the knot with the rhinestone with opalescent shred in the center so sweet?


Here's a close-up of the tag on month seven.
The silver oval was a little frame that I used to put the number 7 in.


Month eight was covered with a girly PINK toile.
Toile has always been a favorite of mine and what could be better than PINK toile.



Month Nine.  I love the hot Pink glittered paper
 that bordered the center insert page.


Month TEN had a pretty daisy and lots of blue glitter on the paper.


Month Eleven....Hugs & Kisses.


Month Twelve. 
 Last but not least!  I loved the texture of the blue ribbon and the price was even better.  I found it in the $1.00 bin at Michaels.  Don't you just love when you find a deal!   The tag has a cute little bunny.  I also found that at the dollar store! 
 Doesn't it amaze you what you can find at the dollar store?

Baby's First 12 Months...

I've been working on a wonderful gift for a baby shower that I want to share with you. Before I do that, I want to remind you about my giveaway.  It's in celebration of my blog getting 100,000 hits. 
 Here's what  you can win.
  These spring time door cans, and there's more...


The latest copy of Somerset Life.  Stop by here and see how you can win these two items.


Now, for my latest project that I want to share with you.
This gift was for my nephew's first baby. I truly wanted to make a "Creations From My Heart".   I decided to create a book to hold all the wonderful memories of the babies first year. I knew the baby was going to be a girls. Whippiee! I never get to make girly things.  This was my chance to go all out and make it totally girly with lots of bling and glam.  Here is the cover of the book.


I printed the words "Baby's first 12 Months" on vellum and glued the piece of vellum to the cover. When I post later this week, I'll show the a trick with using your printer and vellum paper.  so come back and visit.


I found this glass flower at Michaels Crafts.
  It was a pretty pink color.  I added a button and put a rhinestone in the center.  The paper I used was from a paper pack, which I purchased from Joann Fabrics.  Here's a tip....When doing a project like this, purchase the paper packs.  Many times you can get them for half off, which is about $10.00.  The reason I like using them, is because all the papers are coordinating.  It takes the guess work out of picking out papers that match and the price is less than what you would pay for individual specialty  sheets.  I just loved the colors and all the glitter.


I also printed the baby's name out on vellum.  After printing out the names, I tore the edges and then applied gold paint.


Some pretty ribbons where attached to the rings of the book.


This is the inside of the cover.


On the computer I printed off a chart to record the baby's growth.  I love to use rhinestones to embellish my projects.
  I think they add lots of BLING!


Here's the inside of the back cover. 
 I made a little pocket so that little momentos can be tucked away.


The paper was embellished with beautiful glittered words.  I put my little stamp on the back cover.


I am finishing up the inside pages.  I am making a page for each month.  Check  back later this week to see the finished project.  I'll have lots of photos to share with you.  If you are looking for more creative inspiration  take a look at some of the blogs below that I will be linking this post to...
