WOYWW

My desk is not much different from last week except it has been cleaned up, dirtied up, and is now in the throes of getting messed up again.  Check out Stamping Ground and Julia will give you the deets about the WOYWW!  

This time I am making a monochromatic journal page for a group I belong to and I seem to be stuck as to where I go next!!!
It is hard to see the stars on the top half of the page but I used Dylusions in and then coarse modeling paste with a stencil.  I love the way the paste picks up the color of the Dylusions inks when used over the top of the ink.  Now I need to figure out what to do with the rest of the page and stay monochromatic.... any ideas?

Last week was my birthday and DH took me out to supper and to see a movie...RED2...loved it.  I really liked Red with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, and this time they added in Catherine Zeta Jones and Antony Hopkins.  DS is in boot camp...sort of for officers training to become a Warrant Officer so I didn't hear from him but DDIL called and wished me a happy day. DD is out of town in Pennsylvania at a medieval reenactment encampment so it was a quiet day but fun day.  DD did send these flowers...so pretty and she knows I love purple!  I taught a class at the scrapbook store and had a good time. 
For those of you interested in what the baby book looked like finished here are some pictures of the book. Graphic 45 Little Darlings papers, 6x6 BoBunny chipboard book. 

The babes name is Daniel Thomas Dawson III or v 3.0



I needed some place to put the birth information and when I typed it up and it came out looking like an angel I just added and played with it!  Pages with spots to enter 'firsts' etc in the pocket


This page has a place for a large photo


several mats to hold 3.5 x5 " pictures.  All the mats in this book are approx that size or smaller



More photos


I loved this color and print hope Mom and Dad don't mind the organgy pink in a boys baby book.


Last pages have a cabinet card style photo mat.  I really like the way it turned out!
The doors open!
Okay that is it for me I am off to skip around the blogs.  Have a great week!

    Hi Vickie your baby book is so sweet, those Graphic 45 pages are beautiful aren't they. What a fabulous keepsake for baby Daniel and his Mum and Dad. Good luck with your journal page - I often get stuck at the stage you're at, but I sleep on it and sometimes inspiration strikes. Have a great week. MMx #42

    Wow, Vickie. I missed your birthday. Happy belated. Sounds like you had a lot of fun, though.

    That book is unbelievable. I need a baby shower gift, and this is perfect. I love it. Although I don't have any of that fabulous paper, I now have an idea for a book. You have inspired me.

    Happy belated WOYWW from #2.

    Wow gorgeous flowers and your baby book is just darling. I am loving your journal page background. My thought for what to add would be to perhaps turn the bottom right corner where it is like a litle half circle into a planet or the moon and maybe add some more smaller and brighter stars. You could then look for a quote about stars, wishes and dreams and maybe in the planet space record yours. Hope you have a great week! A very late but Happy WOYWW! Danie #25
