Birthday Books


 Little Man

I've been busy this week working on two Birthday Books for my little friends Ashton and Camden.  I used to scrapbook all the time, but I've found that the more I get into mixed media, the less time I dedicate to scrapbooking. . . Having said that, I committed to doing a book for our Goddaughter Ashton each year for her birthday. I have done one every year since she was three. Then, a few years ago, she received a really special birthday gift: a little brother. Camden was born on the same day within the same hour, 7 years after her. Needless to say, I'm now doing two books every May. Here are a few pictures of what I'm giving them today . . .
  
8 x 8  Scrapbook
Dictionary pages and B & W clip art
Stamps, rub-ons and glitter
 All images from The Graphics Fairy

 7 x 6 Scrapbook covered in fabric
 Acrylic and charcoal
 Detail cuts (craft knife)
 Birthday babies
