I promised myself that I was going to keep on top of Teddy's baby album with the best intentions... really I did! So, now that we have just celebrated his second birthday I feel I may have slightly overestimated my ability to 'keep on track'. Fortunately I haven't completely lost my memory yet, and also have lots of social media posts to use as a reference. Time to get some action happening!
When I first spotted the Springtime Collection I thought it was very 'pink' until I flipped the papers over and found lots of beautiful options perfect for a little boy's storybook. And the Simply Put 4x6 inserts are an ideal solution for those of us who want fun, unique designs that slip straight into the Storybook plastic pockets... great for when I'm lacking on design ideas and conscious of my time. And they come in pads of 18 double sided pages with both vertical and horizontal options for your designs... perfect!
Move over sequins... I have a new love! Epoxy Arrow Sprinkles! I can't get enough of these little embellishments and they are perfect use in the plastic album pockets because they are relatively flat with only a slight raised surface area.
Another positive for this style of memory keeping is Doodlebug's color palette... the colours never change so it doesn't matter what collection or embellishment you are using, everything will always match. And it's the best way to use up all your left over little bits and pieces from previous projects.
I hope the weather is warming up for everyone in the Northern Hemisphere as it seems that you've had a fairly long, cold winter. We have also had a long, dry and very hot Summer here in Australia so I'm thankful for the turn in the weather with the beginning of our Autumn.
I hope I have given you some ideas to inspire your scrapping... Melinda.
