3 is a magic number

Hello, hello? Oh my gosh, I'm alive! I tell you what, after the Memory Makers challenge entry I created, I was totally wiped from scrapping. That, combined with planning for Eleana's 3rd birthday party and I had no time to scrap for fun. But I have to say, if it weren't for Jen's challenge I never would have scrapped.

Of course it helps that I received a really awesome kit from Sweet Spuds recently! I mean just look at all these goodies!



So as soon as I saw the oranges and pretty shades of brown and touches of pinks, I knew what picture I was using and why. I had taken a couple of pictures of E recently that I normally would have probably deleted straight away, but I thought to myself, "These pictures would be so pretty if I bleached them a bit in photoshop" so that's what I did.

Additionally, the gals at Scrapmojo have just released a new challenge, and I caught it on the first day, lucky me. Of course the first title suggestion they list is what I'm going to use! "3 is a magic number" fit Eleana perfectly because, obviously, she just turned 3 on Sunday!


I sorta spliced the two photos of her together, so the shadow on the right wouldn't be cut off. It looked awful with the shadow cut in half. So I cut a place into the photo on the right and slid the photo on the left into it, so I could overlap the shadow.





I tried to group things in amounts of 3. There are 3 clouds (which I created using Stickles) and 3 august stickers on the left side of the page. I also used 3 staples on either end of the ribbon.

progression, finalization

Well, Baby E's scrapbook documenting her first year is officially finished. I finished her 1st birthday party page a couple weeks ago. This doesn't mean that one day I may work on another photo of her from her first year and add it to the book, but for now it is done. Finis. I'm beginning work on her second album, and so far have several projects in my mind, and a couple finished.

Here is her first birthday page:

Details on products used, and a larger image can be seen here.

I did this page on Wednesday:

It documents her independent personality and how this photo of her was the only one I managed to snap of her in front of a backdrop before she ran away from me to play.
