Day 88: No Bones About It

I have two photos of my son that are exactly the same pose; however, one is in color and one is in black and white.  I ordered the color one and when I went to pick up my photos the next week, the photography lab had enhanced some of the photos, and I fell in love with how my son looked in the black and white photo, so I bought that one too!  I had purchased a scrapbook kit from my local store, The Scrapbook Corner, with the title "No Bones About It...I'm Cute", that featured  three paper-pieced dogs holding bones in their paws.  I had also purchased another kit from The Scrapbook Corner that had toads and the title for it was "Toad-ally Cute", but I didn't want to have the word "cute" in both titles, so I decided to title the dog kit "No Bones About It...I'm Adorable".  Then when I was playing around with the layout design and deciding where I was going to put the three dogs, I decided to put one dog on the left hand page and two dogs on the right hand page and change the title to {left hand page} "No Bones About It..." {right hand page} "I'm Adorable...x Two" to give note to the fact that there are two pictures of him in the same pose.

Day 54: Using a Scrapbook Page Kit

My local scrapbook store, The Scrapbook Corner*, has page kits that include all the coordinating papers, embellishments, and a photo of thepage layout.  You just put it all together, add your photo, and you are done. I picked this kit up because my daughter loves pink and wears it in a lot of her photos, and the pinks and browns in this kit would work with anything.  The only things I used to embellish the page that were not part of the kit were the leaves (Sizzix die and machine), the buttons (jillibean soup), the American Girl title (Laserline)** and an American Girl sticker (EK Success). A quick page, but you wouldn't know it!
