PREGNANCY SCRAPBOOK LAYOUTFor my Pregnancy scrapbook layout I wanted to feature an imaginary dialogue between the unborn baby and his or her expectant older sibling. If they actually could converse, I wonder what they'd say!
TO THE POWER OF '3' I always find that if I'm going to tell a mini journaling story (VERY mini in this case!), that there is something satisfying about the number 3. Rather like with jokes, using number 3 - in terms of photos or captions - just creates a mood of amusement. NURSERY ACCENTS I found some ideal paper from Ellory, rather like nursery wallpapaer. That brings back some stressful memories. As soon as my daughter could stand up she started peeling it off! The nursery embellishments from the excellent Royal and Langnickel were handy. I couldn't resist hanging the lampshade mobile over the foetus - enough to make anyone's eyes water. CLEAR CHOICE FOR STAMPS For my captions, I used some great letter stamps from Clear Choice. The red ink by Clearsnap did rather fade after a while, but that's not uncommon with dye inks. I 'touched up' the borders before I uploaded the image. GINGHAM OVERKILL? Looking at this pregancy scrapbook layout in the cold light of day, I think the border ribbon (HMA Creative - not their fault!) doesn't really work. If I see space round the edge of a 12 x 12 I can't resist sticking ribbon on it. I think ribbon looks better when it's not supposed to be uniformly straight. We use ribbon for several effects - but maybe I could have achieved a straight edge with something different. Never mind, the baby's bound to peel it all off anyhow!
