Scrapbook Page First To Show

I started with a piece of 11 3/4x11 3/4" white cardstock, stamped mango flowers, then the green leaves and then the pink flowers. I tried to color-coordinate the stamped colors with the flowers in the picture.

I had too many pictures to put on one page, so I stamped the same pink flower on a piece of patterned green cardstock.

I cut the words Evan & Julie & I(heart)U out of green cardstock with my cricut using the Calligraphy Collection cart. I cut the heart out again of white cardstock and then scuffed it with the pink stamppad so it would color match. Put the pictures on. The 11 3/4 x 11 3/4 piece of cardstock is matted on a piece of 12x12 black cardstock. I like to do this as you will see. When I used adhesive, I only went around the 2 sides and the bottom, because...

See, the green tab at the top of the previous picture. The 8 1/2 x 11 page goes between the other 2 pages. It's a sneaky way to add more pictures without cluttering up your main page. Cool, eh? I had all these cute pics of our oldest daughter that I wanted in her scrapbook, and that's how I did it. The tab attachment on the green page was cut from the Fabulous Finds cart. That cart is so wonderful for scrapbooking, so nice and versatile.

So I did 2 pages, pretty much identical, one was for our oldest daughter's scrapbook (previous pictures) and then this one was for our son's scrapbook. He wasn't in any of the pictures as he was napping. Again I didn't want to journal on the page, so I cut a "recipe card" from the Fabulous Finds cart, scuffed it with the pink stamppad, and used that for the journalling. Hopefully you can tell that I hid it behind the wedding picture leaving just the tab part out.
