Scrapbook Saturday, Baby Footprints

I love this quote don't you?  It's so fitting.

Happy Saturday!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend so far.  I'm gearing up to spend the day outside with family and friends and can't wait!  

I knew I wanted a page that really focused on Estelle's little toes, so I didn't add too many embellishments.  (I took a few pieces of paper to the hospital in different colors and asked the nurse to put her foot prints on each one.  Can you say indecisive?!)  Anyway, here's the instructions on the page.

Materials:

3/8 in. Polka Dot Ribbon

Light Blue Paper from DCWV Linen Stack

Printer Paper/Computer

Overlay Acid Free Scrapbook Paper (a see through cloudy sheet)

Elmer's CraftBond Glue Spots

Elmer's CraftBond Glue Stick

Instructions:

For the quote, I printed it on regular printer paper, then put used the Elmer's glue stick to adhere the overlay to the paper.  It dries clear so you can't see the glue.  

Then, I used Elmer's Glue spots to adhere the quote and footprint paper.

Next, I glued a 12 in. strip of the polka dot ribbon across the bottom of the paper.  Then I cut a 4 in. piece of ribbon and glued it into a circle (end to end).  Once that dried, I glued it down in the center.  Then, I glued an inch piece of ribbon around the center to finish the bow.  I placed the bow where I wanted it to be on the scrapbook page.

Scrapbooking Saturday! How We Found out We Were Preggers!

Each Saturday, I am going to share a page or two from my scrapbooks.  I am going to start by sharing Estelle's baby book.  I wanted to create something different rather than just buying the standard baby book, so that I could personalize the book to my taste/ideas.  


A really important tip that helped me with this process is that I used a special "Elle" notebook that I write in during the week to help me remember all of the great events that have happened in her life.  I leave it in the kitchen so that it's always readily available.  


The first post I am going to share is the part of the scrapbook where we found out that we were pregnant.    These pages are a little plain, they were created in my early days of scrapbooking!  If I update them, I'll be sure to post the new photos.
I can't remember the paper brand, but I used my Cricut Expression with the Alphalicious Cartridge.   I like to add places where I can write notes or stories of the day.
