Beautiful Life
Hello and happy 4th of July! Thanks for stopping by today, I have something very special to share with you! A few months back I ordered that big cosmo cricket special from QVC that came with some chipboard pieces, including a photo cube. That cube has been sitting on my shelf for months because I just wasn’t wanting to make it, but then I had an IDEA! So I whipped out my stuff and started to work.
The box is covered outside in ”Tea and silk” Prima paper that I stamped with the flowers from ‘Beautiful Life’, the inside has cocoa paper. Lots of prima’s, cream pearls, hearts and ribbon on the top, including a ribbon pull with a little tassel.
And what is inside?
A little tag scrapbook! Again I altered the unity wooden tags that come in the handles or with the wooden sets. I had these in a little stack on my desk and thought it would look cute as a little scrap book. Here are what the tags look like before, in case you don’t have any. (you should get some though……the stamps that come with them are pretty amazing!)
Again, the pages are covered in ‘Tea and silk’ and distressed edges. I decided to use some of my extra photo’s I have of the girls from their birthdays and the first sister Christmas.
I just kind of kept adding to each page until I couldn’t fit anything else. It has been so long since I scrap booked and I’ve gotten used to the small size of a card. These little tags made me feel nice and at home because I didn’t have a huge page to fill.
I hope you all have a safe and wonderful weekend. We have no special plans and will probably just chill at home. There were some AWESOME thunder/lightning storms today, lots of rain to make the grass safe for all those fire works.

The MFT design team is hosting scrapbooking challenges on SCS today and I was asked to join! How could I say no!!! So be sure to head on over to see the rest of the inspiring scrapbook pages and challenges, HERE.
And here is the page I made. I used my youngest daughter, Audrey’s birthday picture for the layout. And the background was created with Kim’s fabulous digi papers!
She’s cute, huh? The cupcakes and balloons are from “Icing on the cake”. And we just got our new camera so I was able to get a super close up of the cupcake detail:
My challenge is to use faux stitching on your page! And if you want some bonus points, throw in some digi papers! So go on……get scrappin!
