So much to share today....and very short on time...but too fun not to share with you...
First....a big, fatty, giveaway that you just won't want to miss...
Crafty Secrets is kicking off National Scrapbook Day with $500.00 worth of prizes and the most adorable free vintage printables. You can read all about the giveaways HERE...and come back Saturday for the $50.00 giveaway on my blog plus a fun project.
And...while we're on the subject of shabby, vintage goodness and Crafty Secrets, I've got a sweet project up at Emma's Paperie that uses some wonderful Crafty Secrets products and oodles of beautiful Melissa Frances goodies as well.
This sweet album is from Melissa Frances...it comes ready for you to embellish and dress up any way you choose....but the pre-printed pages are there for you and completely irresistible...I adore this product of hers.
I simply added a stamped image on each page and added embellishments such as stickers, die cut ticket stubs, rubons, adhesive pearls, ribbon, trim, cotton scraps, trinket pins, etc.
The tag pages are my favorite little surprises in this album...they just add so much charm and character.
I even made a little page in the back for tracking the growth of baby's bitty feet....so fun.
Another very special page in this album is the family tree page found just inside the cover...
A perfect keepsake for your sweet pea.
Instructions and supplies for my project can be found HERE on Emma's Paperie blog.
And lastly...I just finished up a new card kit for Frost it Pink...here are a few peeks. It will be available beginning next week.
A couple of new kits coming to The Scrappy Gourmet soon as well.
Enjoy your day!
Melis
Melis -

Melis darling, what do you do with all these beautiful projects? I know that you sell some of them on etsy but what do you do with all the rest if you make sometimes 3 or four cards and things in a day?

Melissa,
This is so sweet! It reminds me so much of my Dad's baby book from the early 1920's....vintage and soft and just baby sweet! Wonderful project! :)

I am finally going to have a little girl in the family-I have to try my hand at something like this. After 6 boys it will be so much fun.
Thank you for the wonderful inspiration.
