I used the Special Delivery Boy - Simply Scrappin' kit from Stampin' Up! I loved how easily the pages went together. If I had to buy all of the coordinating paper, and die cuts, then assemble it all, it would hae easily taken me 2-3 days to create this. However, because I had the kit - it took me about 2-3 hours! Love it!!
The coordinating colors are Apricot Appeal, Soft Sky, Wild Wasabi, and Sahara Sand. Because Wild Wasabi, and Soft Sky are current "In-Colors" - this kit will retire in 2008! It has convinced me to buy more of these - especially because everything is ready to go! I can handle that!
Non Stampin' Up! stuff:
I had this blue polka dot paper left over from a different project, so I thought I'd use it up here. I also used my Cricut to cut out the baby's name (and the Mom & Dad title on the first page) using Soft Sky cardstock. The Apricot Appeal color sticker next to his name says "Hello, my name is..." The Wild Wasabi green paper, and the embellishments are from the Special Delivery Boy kit. I found the album at Target. It is a shade lighter than the Wild Wasabi. The cute blue feet were left over from another project also.

This card was messy, but so pretty! I used a Whisper White base with a strip of Not Quite Navy along the bottom of the card. I stamped the images from Snowflake Spot using Not Quite Navy, Brocade Blue, and Tempting Turquoise. After allowing to dry for a minute, I took my Versamark pad and covered the images on the Whisper White. I then added my Dazzling Diamonds Embossing Powder over the wet Versamark ink. (To make the embossing powder, I simply took Clear embossing powder and added Dazzling Diamonds). I then used my heat gun to set the embossing powder. I added my strip of Not Quite Navy with a Merry Christmas sentiment to the bottom (stamped in Not Quite Navy) using a little bit of double sided tape. To finish it off, I added a little white ribbon using a couple glue dots.
I placed her hand in Versamark ink then placed it on the rough side of an inkjet transparency. I added detail black embossing powder and the used my heat gun to emboss the handprint. I hand cut the circle, which is approximately 4". I then rolled the image into a tube and placed it inside of the glass ornament. I added silver stars to the ornament for a little something extra. Using my large SU! oval punch, I made a name tag and used my silver gel pen to write the year and her name.
