Tutorial Tuesday: Baby Book

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 00:29:00 +0000

Here’s a slide show of the book I made for a co-worker that was expecting. (Katelyn has been born now!)

It’s super easy to make! And here’s the download for you! Click to download the Baby Book. There’s 4 pages in PDF format. (Each page has 3 prompts.) All of the scrapbook prompts above are included and I added some that include meeting their sister/brother/siblings and the cat. I also added a stat page for a boy too. So you’re ready to go!

When I made it I put one prompt on each page (each prompt is the size of an index card) and left space on the other side for a picture. That way the book is already made, the new parents just fill in their thoughts and add a picture!

Let me know in the comments if there are other pages you’d like to see and I can make those a separate download!

Happy Crafting!

Announcing…

I am SUPER excited to share with you the talents of:

Kristina Werner!

She is an extrenely talented designer! For the months of August and September she will be showing us some awesome ways to use the Schlosser Designs Stamp Sets. Head on over to her blog and see for yourself the graphic designs of Kristina. You can see one here that she’s already done. Kristina graciously answered a few questions for me. (Hope they weren’t too cheesy, but I can’t claim that I’m a professional journalist by any means!)

Besides making completely awesome cards and paper projects, what do you like to do in your spare time?

I love to read, but mostly silly entertaining things. Nothing too serious. And I also keep up with WAY too many television shows. I suppose you could say that I love anything with a good story, whether it be a good book or a even a television show.

Is there one particular moment that sparked your interest for cards and papercrafting?

Actually, I remember the exact thing I was looking at. :) Being that I work in the scrapbooking industry as a graphic designer I was pretty familiar with what was out there, but had never felt the urge to create anything myself. Then, I saw something that just made me what to create everything! It was a scrapbooking page by Laura Kurz. I was just so fascinated by it. It was this exact page…

Where do you look for your inspiration?

I tend to get inspiration directly from the products. I’ve always loved patterns and colors, so I just try to arrange them in a way that looks cool to me. :)

What is your favorite quote?

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” -Dr. Seuss

This is one of her projects that she wanted to share:

A friend at work is expecting her first child (a little girl named Katelyn) soon and we’re having a baby shower for her tomorrow. This is what I made for her:

Basically a small journal with a few prompts. I left one side empty so she could put a picture and the other side has a little journal block. I’ve typed below what each one says…or you can click to see it bigger :)

Our Beautiful Baby Girl (name here) entered the world on (Date here) at (time here). She weighed (weight) was (length) long, and had (color) eyes.

The first time we saw you:

When you were born:

Your first bath:

Our favorite thing about is:

When you met the dog:

Our thoughts for you.

The paper I used was a stack from K & Company designed by Amy Butler. I’ve been wanting to get some of her fabric and patterns for a while now and when I saw her paper I just had to get it. Anyway, the rest was just solid cardstock to match, with adhesive rhinestones throughout.
