Sweet Baby Girl ~ Scrapbook Page

Hi all!  It's another last minute post from me.  I'm scrambling before the weekend's activities.  Lots more basketball this weekend and February school vacation begins today.  My kids are happy to be without homework for a week, but they're less than thrilled that we have no snow on the ground.  We usually spend a few of our vacation days in New Hampshire with my parents.  The kids love to sled and snow tube there.  But that's looking unlikely with no snow in the forecast.  Such a strange winter!

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook page of my daughter at 6 months old.  It's hard to believe that she was a 4-pound preemie!  I find I'm spending less time on my pages....I no longer flounder for hours with layout designs and paper matching like I did a few months back.  For this page, I quickly pulled together my papers and decided on die-cuts one day, then cut, assembled and embellished yesterday.  I'm trying to use more embellishments, but that's real hard for a girl with a clean and simple style!!  I'd appreciate any advice you might have for me!

Sharon,
I so love how you did the title. It's a great embellishment all by itself. I think the clean and simple approach works well with a baby pic, don't sweat it:) You are doing great!

This is beautiful! This page works great with a CAS style. But some pointers on future pages if you really wanna get out there, what broke me out of my shell were flowers, banners, and then the biggy; paint splatter and mist sprays. It got wild after that! :) Hope that helped! Thank you for playing along with LM!

I love what you did with the embellishments... I am also a CAS scrapper... i think I spend way too much time on a page and envie when people can whip up a page from nothing. I think you did a great job!!!

I think your layout is perfect just the way it is!!!! The only thing that I do ALL the time, is back my photos on cardstock. I'm like you though, I'm trying to spend less time on my pages, but I have to work with sketches. Keep up the good work....and they sure do grow fast...enjoy every minute of it!! Thanks for joining us at CropStop Challenge Blog this week, look forward to seeing again.

Hugs.

This is precious, Sharon! I absolutely love the way you've done the title and the little outfit cuts are adorable! I wouldn't change a thing!!
I do hope the children are enjoying their break. We have very little snow here too. It really has been a mild winter!
