looking back...

for C's cousin's 40th birthday we pitched in for a limo to get us to here + back, and that was her whole gift, but birthday's all always BIG deal for me.  i think of it as celebrating that person's life, but also a chance to make them feel special for one whole day.  so, the no gift thing was really tough for me but C did suggest that i make her this, so i picked one up at my near by scrap store and got to work on it.  here's the front, and an undone layout...

i've got all the pictures printed out, so i'll be putting it together today between work + class tonight.  i'll post the book this week once it's looking pretty.

happy Tuesday y'all!

handmade birthday gift.....

this past birthday i made a list of "37 things to do before my next birthday".  it's been fun crossing off  items as i accomplish them.  with that said, i was able to cross off #34 on my list with this little project i've been working on!!  i'm soooo excited to post some of the album....  
cover of her 8X8 album!

i decided to make my friend's daughter a scrapbook for 1st birthday.  i knew that i wanted to cover a year in her life but i was worried i might get overwhelmed with a 12X12 book. so, all these layouts are in a 8X8 Micheal's book. at first i was afraid this album was too small but it worked out perfectly!  i started with pictures of her parents getting married, then baby shower, the day her daughter was born, all the major holidays, ect, ect...you get the idea.
me and the proud mommy-to-be!
i added a few pictures that i took or found of facebook but for the most part the layouts are ready for her mother to mount any and all pictures she has.  i think she's going to LOVE it. the party is next weekend and i'm not 100% done yet, so that's next weeks goal.  i'll post more layouts when i'm done + i'll let you know what my friend thought of my gift to her. ~let's start this week off right....Happy Monday y'all!
