New Baby

My brother and sister-in-law found out they were pregnant with their first child last September.  After their first ultrasound they scanned and sent out pictures of the newest member of our family.  I was so excited to become an Aunt again!  So of course I had to scrapbook it! 

In this layout I used Creative Memories Black & White Power Palette paper and ribbon.  I also used two of their brand new items- Page Planner and Chalking Inks. 

The Page Planner made it easy to layout a page quickly.  All you do is lay the planner template over your background paper and fill in the open spaces on with pictures or pieces of scrapbook paper.  Then I adhered the pictures and paper to the background paper with my Creative Memories Tape Runner and removed the template from the page.  A great tip for using the templates is to place the background paper on the Creative Memories 12x12 Custom Cutting System Mat and using the clips from the Creative Memories Multipurpose Tool & Clips, clip the template and paper to the mat so it won't move.

To make the journaling a little bit more fun, I cut out lengths of the Creative Memories Black & White Paper Ribbon and told the story on the pieces of ribbon.  I laid them out in a zig zag pattern and adhered them down with my tape runner.

The title I punched out several squares and used alphabet stickers.  Then I took out the new Creative Memories Chalking Ink to distress each square.  I also distressed the photo and journaling mats.
