Scrapbooking a Year of Life

You may be coming here from Suzanne, follow us regularly, or just stumbled upon us today. Either way, welcome to last day of the Oh Baby Blog Hop! Be sure to become a follower and leave a comment to be entered to win the blog candy. 

While I was pregnant and during the first year of Molly's life, I scrapped everything! Pages about myself, Mike, our family tree and history, about my baby shower, her delivery, birth announcements, coming home, travel, holidays, the food she ate, firsts, and 30 or so more pages. It was a true labor of love. Each page took hours and hours. I embarked on this project before I worked for PSA Essentials, or before I owned any of our stamps. Looking back there are a lot of pages where our designs would have added something special. Take a peek at a few of the pages…

I spent a lot of money on stick-on letters from Michael's that instead I could use PSA Vanilla or PSA Archive stamps. Stamps from PSA Carriage, Little Bunny, the Christmas ones, Halloween, Love sets, and the Dare to Dream sentiments would have worked great on many of these pages. (See them all here: http://www.psaessentials.com/peelandstick.htm)


Here are some great layouts by Kim Moreno that do use PSA Essentials stamps. Beginning this August, I will feature"Scrapbooking with PSA Essentials" here. I am looking forward to sharing scrapbooking ideas with our readers! Here's a peak at the talented Kim Moreno… this layout is called "Snow Day." She has 5 kids. (Yes, I said 5 kids!) I wonder if she scraps for each of them?
