Thank you to my ladies with whom I shared a fantastic National Scrapbook Day. 

I managed to complete one project and two layouts in one day.  That’s a record for me. If only I could have a few more days like this one and my daughter’s first album would be completed in no time. For now, I’ll just be proud of what’s already been accomplished.

The first project I tackled on Saturday (“Adored” Album) which I picked up at the In a Pinch Designs booth at Scrapfest 2009 last month has to be my favourite purchase from the event. Believe me, there were quite a few but, this one takes the cake and will be treasured forever. 

The dainty detailing with the products from Cloud 9 Design’s Baby Girl line gave it just the right amount of soft femininity.  For those who know me and just how much I love anything and everything feminine can picture just how much I adore this perfect little gift for my princess to treasure. The ladies at In a Pinch Designs have surely outdone themselves with this one.

 

 

We each walked away with one of these.  Look at it. I mean, how could one resist such and “Adorable” little album?

Secondly, I managed to complete the following layout which has been sitting incomplete for months now.  What can I say, I was hit with scrapper’s block on this one but managed to break through it and finish it.  Not exactly one of my favourites but, the thought of not having to sit there and contemplate anymore gives me great pleasure.

 

 

 

Last but not least, my last accomplishment on Saturday, or should I say early Sunday morning (by the time I was done) was well worth the headache the next day.  I finally found a reason to use those pink sparkles I had stashed among the many other products. It took me a couple of tries trying to figure out which adhesive would work best to apply the sparkles. I discovered good old Liquid Glass works wonders for sparkling chipboard. It’s nice and thick and the paper won’t wilt or get soggy as paper usually tends to when using this product.  I was so impressed with my new discovery that I decided to add some to my stamped title and VOILA! It added a nice touch, balancing out my overall layout.

 

I knew eventually the abundance of supplies I’ve accumulated would slowly come to good use, haha!
