sweet pink freckled fawn...

Sigh....who doesn't love a pink, freckled fawn, floppy blossoms, and pink pom pom trim?  This girl does for sure.  I created this fun Welcome Baby album for Emma's Paperie.  Out focus this month is Crate Paper and I just love their goodies.  Their Little Bo Peep and Little Boy Blue collections are among my most favorites.  

I combined the Little Bo Peep collection with Melissa Frances supplies such as the floppy blossom ribbon, large resin frame, and the album...such a beautiful album that doesn't need any toppings as each page comes beautifully done and vellum pockets are included and so much fun to incorporate...but I added in patterned paper and other embellishments just to accentuate the baby theme.

Here are peeks at the inside pages and all of the supplies and a short tutorial can be found at Emma's Paperie.

Annnnd....speaking of Freckled Fawn, how I love that lovely place, I am so happy to continue on with them as part of their design team.  You can find out all about the other designers HERE on the I Am Doe blog.

I just received a new stash of Freckled Fawn washi...thought it was only proper to share my delicious stash with you.  Here you'll see Orange Star Line, Blue Doily (oh mama!), Math Notebook (the Little Bean's pick), White Seedling on Pink, Gold Airmail,  Polka Dot with Heart, Pink Airmail, Teal Scattered Dots, and the sweet, gold star washi...can't find it quite yet, but I'll be sure to link it here in a bit.  Love my washi!

My parents came to visit today so they could spend the afternoon with my little one to celebrate her birthday...the party just never ends for that girl I tell you :)  I LOVE having my mom and dad come.  I get homesick for them and the time with them passes so fast and then it's time for them to hit the road.  I get homesick all over once they drive away and today wanted to call my mom on her cell phone and talk to her all the way home.  I just feel so lucky to have them in my life and love them so much.  It's been a special week for sure.  One I'll always remember.

Time to start the evening routine around here.  The days are getting shorter and cooler here.  How about where you are?

Night!

Oh Melissa... I literally gasped. Crate Paper is my absolutely favourite thing in the whole wide world (paper wise), and your album is just so SO precious. I created a couple of these, only mind had to be boy-themed and neutral, so I couldn't go crazy with Bo Peep as I'd liked to. I will when I make something for my girlies!! This is BEAUTIFUL!

Wow!!! It is amazing... You have done it again:)))

That is seriously the sweetest mini album! I love Crate Paper, too, and top it off with that pink trim and you stole my heart! Thanks for your sweet inspiration!

[Charlene]

So precious! I just love all things baby. Enjoy your Mom & Dad!

I love this adorable album! So sweet! It's wonderful that your parent came to visit. I bet Sierra loves the extended birthday celebration but especially to see her grandparents. The days are getting shorter here also and I love it! I think I'm in the minority when it comes to prefering those shorter days. I just love the feelings of warmth and coziness of the fall and winter.

Goodness this is so beautiful Melissa!! Crate Paper is one of my top 3 paper companies for sure.. Love the look of the cover!

This is so precious and adorable Melissa! In love with the softest of trims you chose!

I love that line of paper from Crate. I adore how you used it. I got the boy paper but it's still sitting on my desk. Beautiful!

Adorable!! There is a lucky little one somewhere!!

That little pink fawn is so sweet. Love your little album. Those washi tapes are fun. Your little bean has a good eye - I like the math one too even if I am terrible in that subject! My Mom has been gone a long time & I can still see her & Dad driving off from those long ago visits. Enjoy them all you can while you have them. Hugs.

The book is beautiful! I am just getting started on some baby banners using both the boy & girl lines! I love them... as far as washi tape... I may need a rehab. :)

Your book is so beautiful, with all your special touches! I miss my parents very much but they left me with much love and I draw on that everyday and it makes my heart happy to hear you cherish yours so very much!
