Scrapbook - the tooth fairy - page 2.

I like to scrapbook on the weekend ... a girl has to have a pass time when it is cold and wintry outside. This is the second page of a double page spread. You may remember I completed the first page quite a while a go, but still had several photos left. So a second page has been sitting on the table waiting for a few spare hours. The top right photo flips upwards to show the before and after images of the lost tooth. I have simply hinged the first photo on to a piece of DS Paper using the eyelet punch for a decorative edge.
The simple mounting of these photos is due to the number of photos I have placed on the page. Two of the photos have used corner pockets to hold the photo in place. I have made them with the square scallop punch, cut the squares in half length ways and scored and folded them diagonally to show the punched edge at the front.

The next photo is mounted on kiwi kiss cardstock which has been punched with the eyelet border punch and tied with some wide old olive grosgrain ribbon.

For some butterfly detail, to match the other page I added one of the butterflies from flight of the butterfly the sentiment says: If nothing ever changed there would be no butterflies.

The Enjoy stamp is from Lovely labels stamped with chocolate chip on whisper white cardstock. This is the double page spread showing the tooth fairy in all her splender celebrating the loss of her first tooth.

Surprise Box in Brocade Background paper

My love of patterned papers has blossomed into something beautiful!
There are so many beautiful gifts and boxes and projects that can be made with patterned papers and there are so many colours and patterns and styles - something to please everyone.
This is from the Brocade Backgrounds pack of Designer Series Paper. In river rock (a retiring colour from the 2008-09 catalogue) but elegant for sure with this white swirly pattern on it. And it teams beautifully with the Old Olive wide grosgrain ribbon.

Like it?

What do you think is the surprise inside the box?

We will be making a variation of these gorgous surprise inside boxes at the catalogue launch party on the 9th April .....

Toothfairy and butterflies ....

It is one of the first milestones for your child that you just have to photograph and scrapbook: their cute little smile with the missing tooth, what they say, what they think about the whole wobbly and lost tooth event. I have another 3, (maybe 5) photos to scrap on a second page ... but this will do for now.
I have used elegant eggplant and Old olive textured cardstock and the gorgous Ginger Blossom Designer series paper (this one is mostly river rock coloured with white) It goes with everything, a kind of karki colour that reads as grey with most other colours ... so enjoy it while it lasts this colour is going by the end of March. And a piece of bali breeze paper behind the journalling.
Anyway the basics of this card was the 6"x 6" scrap page in the centre and then I added the title using the big deal alphabet stamps and the journalling block and a few butterflies in chocolate chip ink on Old olive cardstock.
The ribbons used are chocolate chip double stitched wide ribbon and along the bottom Old Olive grosgrain ribbon.
Stampsets used: Lovely labels, Cause for celebration, big deal alphabet.
Punches used: Scallop edge, Scallop square, Scallop circle, corner rounder.
