Week 11
Family Album: This week I chose to go back to using one of my "older" kits -- WRMK Tangerine. My idea is to rotate my various kits to get a different color/design scheme each week. I like the little pops of design with the Tangerine kit. I added some cute labeling tags to help highlight a few of the pictures.
As to the pictures and events, this week is very Arthur heavy. Oh wait... It's always Arthur heavy. Anyway, I chose to include some adorable candid shots and eating shots. I love the face he makes while eating. It always looks like he hates it, but he eats everything. The right hand page has a few random shots and his 5 month pictures. I always have to include the stats insert. My favorite shot of the week is the one where he's crawling towards me (left side, bottom left picture).
Supplies:
- WRMK Tangerine
- Labels from Studio Calico kit
- Random stamps
- PL Neutral Baby (monthly stat insert)
Arthur's Album: This week I added in some of the new cards from the Baby for Him kit. I love the cool blues and greens of this spread. The left side is a wrap-up of our week. The right side is all about his 5 month pictures and milestones.
Supplies:
- PL Neutral Baby Kit
- PL Baby Boy Kit
- Random stamps
- Labels from Studio Calico Kit
- Recollections stickers
Week 12
Family Album: I changed up my kits yet again and went with some of the random cards from my Studio Calico kits (Sept. and Oct. 2013). I kept the cards a cool blue and gray with pops of pink. I especially love my pink enamel dots and my new camera stamp (thank you Michael's $2 bin).
The pictures from this week came from two big events. The left side highlights our morning at Washington Park. Arthur had a great time crawling around. And I had a great time taking some pics and reading in the sunshine. The right side highlights Arthur's first official playdate. I grabbed a few cute pics and stole a few from the other moms. My favorite is the pic of Arthur and his friend Luke and their dueling grump faces (right side, top left).
Supplies:
- Studio Calico Kits -- Sept and Oct 2013
- Michael's stamps
- Basic Grey enamel dots
- Random stamps and alphabet stickers
Arthur's Album: Arthur's spread focused on lots of pictures. I decided to use the back side of the inserts from the previous week. Those were reddish so I picked two more reddish inserts for the right side. I've realized that most of Arthur's spreads are light on embellishments and heavy on pictures. And I'm okay with that!
Supplies:
- PL Baby Boy Kit
- Random stamps
