I decided to make little book about the members of our family. The "Sprocket Sprout" album I received came with different shapes and elements (chipboard shapes, canvas, and an envelope). So cool to have a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures to play with!
I decided it would be fun to work with the Rockabilly Collection. I admire those scrapbookers who can mix 'n match papers from different collections and manufacturers...I do not have the gift of mixing. LOL! I like everything to coordinate perfectly so, it was fun digging into the Rockabilly line. Adding a few ribbons, flair, and flowers. Here is the album before I began:
And here is what it looked like in the end...
There was a little yellow envelope and a piece of canvas that I decided not to include in my album. (I might use the little envelope on the back to include some journaling?)
The Rockabilly paper made it so easy to organize the design of this book. All the papers on the left side of the book are the front/colored sides and the right side of the book is all the back or black and white sides. The flowers on the back of the cover worked out perfect next to my daughters page. As you continue through the book you will meet my boys, B & C:

I created the curly-Q with a scrap piece of paper. I love how the black and white pattern alternates with the colorful stripes! |
Then we move along to meet me and our newest family member, Dexter:

Isn't it fun to see the shapes from the other pages popping out around the edges?! |
I am so pleased with how this turned out! Even though it was a bit overwhelming at the beginning, once I began cutting the paper and lining up my photos, I enjoyed the process. These albums from Punky Sprouts would make great gifts for grandparents, friends, baby gifts, or teacher gifts. Thank you Punky Sprouts for swapping with us!
And now for your word of the day.....
