Materials List

Memory Box Die - Leafy Branch

Impression Obsession Die - Twig Wreath

Stampin' Up DP (Some really old stuff!)

Stickles Glitter Glue

Fiskars Sentiment Stamp

Stampin' Up Oval Large Punch

Pearl Pen

I used my Pearl Pen for creating my "eggs". I simply started with a light pressure, lightly dragging the pen on the paper while continuing to squeeze just a bit more to create the larger end of the egg. After they were dry, I removed them carefully from the paper and glued them in my paper nest.

My nest was created using the Impression Obsession Twig Wreath die cut. I simply cut it, then wrapped it into a nest shape, gluing the ends to the bottom, and top, of itself to keep it from unfurling, similar to how you create rolled flowers, only not so tight. :0)

This post will remain at the top of my blog through October 14th to support LUFP. Please scroll down to view my other posts! If you like my work, the "Follow" button is over there =====>>

Girly Scrapbook Layout

Hi, everyone!

As many of you know, I have been toiling away at a scrapbook for my niece for a month, or so.  I'm back again with another! The single layout pages are sometimes the toughest for me: you know, the first and last page of a scrapbook? I like to leave room for larger photos, so it always seem like I don't have enough room for embellishes and the photo mats that I want, but I think I did okay with this one. :0) The ovals are rather large, so the pictures for this page should still be a good size, and with the help of the girly-girl embellishes, really tell a story for my niece. I'm really hoping my sister chooses to use some black and white pictures on this - I think that would really set it off! :0)

Although the scanner did not pick it up well, there is all kinds of Star Dust Stickles on this page, to add to the nostalgia and whimsy of childhood days. :0) I created my girl on the swing svg from a digital image, and cut it on my eClips machine. The sentiment was typed up and I used some Nesties to punch it out.

Only a couple more pages to go, and then the book will be sent off for the birthday party! :0)

Here are some closer views of the gazebo and fence.

And a closer view of the swinging girl.
