Another Mother's Day Project

For the moms in my life (my mom and my mother-in-law), this was their first Mother's Day as grandmothers-to-be. So as a little present, I started a scrapbook for each of them. This page is the title page of the book - when they are tired of carrying their copies of the ultrasound pics around, they can mount them on this page. Then once Aubrey is born, I'll do a double page layout each month showing how she grows and changes over the first year of her life. Not everyone will always be present for every milestone, but they will have a little keepsake from all of those special moments.

I wanted to keep the layout of this title page kind of simple. The base of this scrapbook page is Whisper White. I used two pieces of patterned paper, one from Berry Bliss and one from Certainly Celery Designer Series Paper to create borders down the left side of the page. Of course I had to add a scalloped edge!

I stamped the title and her name in Pretty In Pink. The photo mats - cut down to fit the ultrasound pics - are Certainly Celery cardstock. Of course, nothing is complete without ribbon, so I mounted a piece of Certainly Celery 5/8" grosgrain along the bottom of the page. I have a TON of the large flowers from the Pretties Kit left over from my Stampers 6 workshop, so I added one in the bottom left corner.

The grandmothers-to-be loved the albums! I can't wait to fill them up with all sorts of memories throughout her first year!!!
