This is my second baby gift set I modeled after the one Nichole Heady featured when she rolled out the Paper Trey Borders & Corners – Monogram Edition (which I absolutely LOVE).
I monogrammed 3 onesies with Palette hybrid inkpads (belle rose and viridian leaf). I managed to mess up 2 of the three, but the recipient is a very good friend and hopefully will view my mistakes as MY monogram. ;0)
The baby calendar is an 8x8 scrapbook purchased at Michael’s (Westrim Crafts). The idea is to mark baby’s milestones on the calendar side and adhere photos commemorating the milestones on the facing page. This set is for a little girl born on 12/31/07, so the book covers her first year (13 months – December 2007 thru December 200. Attached are the cover page (a modification of Nicole’s) and a few sample months (the birth month, March and November)
Each calendar page (created using a modified Microsoft Office calendar template) is printed on whisper white. The months are stamped with A MuseÂ’s polka dot alphabet. The focal colors, meant to coordinate with Petals & Paisley DP on the facing page, are Rose Red, Wild Wasabi, and Cool Caribbean.
The card is almost an exact copy of one I did in June, which was a case of one I saw at my LSS. The baby carriage (Memory Box Sugar Collenction) is made from a 3-inch circle punch cut in half and then decorated with a strip of scallops made with the SU corner rounder punch. I used a black marker to draw the *legs* and handles. The whisper white background is cuttlebug’d with a swirl embossing folder. The whole white layer is popped up on dimensionals. The card base is certainly celery. The “baby” is a dollar stamp from Michael’s.
