My Sentiment/Signature Scrapbook!

I made this scrapbook for my daughter's friend Melissa, she had her 15th birthday and in  the Mexican culture is a very important birthday because it celebrates that our little girls become young Ladies and are getting ready for adulthood.  Her mother mentioned that she was looking for a signature book for the party and so I decided to make this book for her as a present! and she liked it!!





 

 I made the flowers using coffee filters and burlap fabric, I also like to add some of my polimer caly embelishments and I had made some pins a long time ago and got to use them in this album!! lots of fun!

 I came up with this idea by looking at my pocket calendar! the only thing that I"ll change is that the inside pages need to be a little bit smaller for when you turn the pages sometimes they overlap with each other but it's not too bad!

 this is the very last page which I ment it to be the focus of attention for this book, she placed her favorite photo here for all to see!! It woked out perfectly!!

 I put my beloved "Cricut" to good use and made this embellishments!! I love my Cricut!!

 I took advantage of the beautiful butterflies printed on the paper so all I did with them was to add some stickles for some spark!

 I am adding a video (actually my very first to do video) I took me about one night to finish the book!

I absolutely love to paper piece all my embellishments!

I loved working with fethers! it was a challenge thoug, the secret is liquid glue! the flag is all paper pieced also!

I made the flowers stems form ribbon and I think it added the perfect touch!

look at her sleeping very piecefully!! I hand stiched this journaling tag ! I love to add layers to my backgroungds! I paper pieced all my embelishments including the lovely sunflower, I paperpieced it petal to make it more unique!

sometimes I like to leave my dolls without a face, I think it looks elegant and the attention is on the faces on the photos!!

all the embellishments were hand made by me!!I don't mean to brag but i don't know how else to say it!! :-)
I had a lot of fun making the BIG clock!!

I love to use ink on photo mats to give character to those small photos if necessary!

this has been one of my most popular layouts! as you can see, I was able to acomodate room for 8 photos not counting the two pull out journaling tags that can also be used as photo mats, and still this layout is alive!!

to give it a tinge of color I inked white cardstock and drew purple circles on it to give it some character!

I created a 3D look for all the flowers with foaming squares and it looks perfect!

I embossed her shoes with pink and white embossing powder!!

I love to machine and hand stitch photo mats for a warmer look!!

we all have our memories with Daddy and our kids too, so I thought this would be perfect for just about everybody!!

I created this beautiful gigant daddy and his girl are perfect to fit anybody's memoris!!

I added ribbon to the dancing slippers to give it a realistic look!

this journaling tags hide under photo mats, they can be also used for extra phots

I used tulle fabric to give it a lively look and also a 3D look! I don't like flat layouts!!

"IN LOVE"

I had a lot of fun creating this lovely layout! My best times that I remember with my honey involves us holding hands so I figure there is others, who like me, would like to preserve times like this forever!! I created all the embellishments myself. When I create my layouts, I get my inspiration from anything that catches my eye and takes me "there" (scrapbook world) and that is how I came up with my creations!!!

for this creation, I used silk flowers, I didn't add ribbon to all photo mats to give it a more adult feel! I love how the dancing couple in love, are lost in their world staring at the gorgeous moon and stars!!
