My older sister is having a baby and asked me to make the baby book.  She isn’t into pink so I choose this wonderful stampin up line of shades of purples and greens.  Love the colors.  She wanted something simple and easy to update.  Here’s a sneak peek…  I will post the completed book soon.

I love the way it’s turning out.  Can’t wait to finish.

Here is the stampin’ up papers I am using… Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper, Rich Razzelberry and Old Olive cardstock.

For my birthday I got a bind-it-all at a great price thanks to one of my swapping buddies.  It’s so easy to use and I love all the things you can do with it.  I made three books today and love them. For one of the books I added mini paper bags with tags.  So cute!!!

As you all know I love swapping and my favorite is secret sister ones.  I host them and always give a project they have to make each month.  Here is the transparency album and altered tin I made for my secret sister Amy.

I joined a swap last year for a paperbag album kit. Everyone sent in a specific item so you could complete an album. I made the library pockets decorated with fishes. My mom visited my sister and her family last year so I took those photos to incorporate into this album. It turned out perfect.
