Family Stories at Write.Click.Scrapbook.

The theme this month at Write.Click. Scrapbook. is "Family Stories." You can check out the entire gallery here. Here are a few of my favorites:

• Unexpected Tradition - Celeste is so funny! I love this layout. It's truthful and humorous and removes the pressure to take a whole bunch of photos in the middle of the Thanksgiving dinner preparations!
• There is a Seinfeld Line - This page design is so unique, and I love that the title and the background text is the focus. Can you believe it's digital??? Amazing!
• You Three - Adore this heartfelt quote and layout. It made me tear up (pregnancy hormones, anyone??), and her children will cherish this someday.

Speaking of children, here's my contribution:

Supplies: patterned paper (Creative Imaginations, SEI, Scenic Route Paper Co., Bo Bunny Press) + buttons (American Crafts) + ribbon (SEI, American Crafts) + paper frills (Doodlebug Designs Inc.) + stickpin (Heidi Grace) + brad (Basic Grey) + tag (7gypsies) + Cricut Machine (Provo Craft) + Tags, Bags, Boxes & More die-cut cartridge (Provo Craft) + Cuttlebug Machine (Provo Craft) + Swiss Dots embossing folder (Provo Craft) + punch (Marvy Uchida) + eyelet (We R Memory Keepers) + font (Uncle Charles)

This page has been 90% complete for a long time, and it turns out that I just needed to come back to it later and add a few things. I'm happy to have this story recorded for Sadie's scrapbook. I know someday - especially when she's starting her own family - she'll be glad to know the little details from her birthday. :) 

Here's a close-up of the 7gypsies journaling tag that I used for my title:

I hand-colored "It's a Girl!" with watercolor pencils and did some blending with a Versamark pen. The journaling is printed on a transparency to layer over the card. 

And now that this page is done, I'm going to kindly remind myself to finish Baby #2's page a lot sooner. :)

I just LOVE the LO!! Just so sweet & simple yet detailed! You are on a roll getting Sadie's album done! I agree that sometimes you just need to walk away for awhile before you can finish a LO.
