One, two, buckle my shoe


A while ago I posted the cover of the baby book I have been making (see it at this post) and I finally have a layout from it to show, this one features the adorable Baby Blocks Rio from Simply B Stamps’ Baby Teen Scene collection.


To make up the pages I’ve followed the current sketch over at Stuck on U Sketches, I just flipped the sketch horizontally to have the pages mirror images.  I want the whole book to tie in together so for part of the horizontal elements I used the same stencil as I did on the cover only this time I left it white to break up all that pink.

I found some perfect ribbon and ric rac in my stash to complete the horizontal elements.  I don’t do baby stuff often so why I bought two rolls of pink and white gingham ribbon is anyone’s guess but goes to show how deep my stash runs!  As I have ribbon on the page I am entering this in Incy Wincy Designs’ current challenge.

Baby Blocks Rio was the perfect image for this page of clever little firsts, she is so stinkin’ cute.  I didn’t do two images though as I really wanted to contrast the picture page with the journaling page and, besides, it allowed me to add in some cute blocks that I made using shrink film.  To tie the two sides together I mounted both Rio and the blocks on the same die cut and used another for the titles.

As this is a record of a young child’s life I think it suits a theme of ‘forever young’ perfectly so I am entering it in the current challenge at Corrosive Challenge.

Now I really will be posting up the rest of the layouts over the next few days as I have to finish this off once and for all so please come back and see how it all looks.
