Spring Scrapbooking!

Here is my new blog - exclusively for me, by me, with no pressure to post, just the ability to show off! :) If you are visiting, I hope you like what you find! My creations are all made using 100% Stampin' Up! products, as I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and love it all!
For my first post, I wanted to show a couple of scrapbook pages I created for an upcoming class:

This is my little darling, Jaymen, just 10 months old in these photos from last year. Now, unbelievably, he is 19 months old and going to be a big brother any day! :)
I made the beautiful flowers using some cool Stampin' Up!-exclusive Embosslits for the Big Shot (LOVE that machine!) and sponged for dimension. The leaves are created by running a strip of Certainly Celery card stock folded in half through the Paper Crimper at an angle, and then hand-cutting a half leaf shape, using the fold in the card stock as the main rib of the leaf, then sponging with Garden Green.

I used the Rock 'n' Roll technique on my title letters, inking first in Certainly Celery and then rock 'n' rolling in Garden Green.

I am not really a scrapbooker, but I had a LOT of fun creating this two-page spread - hope my customers like it on Monday! :)
