Recording Baby Hand and Foot Prints PRETTILY!!!

The Indian Craft Room has a fabulous new monthly scrapbook challenge. I'm so excited about it because I am an avid scrapper. Banu has come up with this fabulous sketch and I liked it so much I just wanted to get to work immediately. And here is my creation!

I've also used this weeks IBSIC color scheme for my layout. Our dear Hussena has done a guest post for it and as always her creation was so beautiful and inspiring! I'm not the only one who thinks so, Deepti too was so taken up by Hussena's card that she put her own spin on it and created something marvellous. I loved Hussena's lattice design as well and I thought, would that look awesome on a layout and here we are!

I have added some close-ups of the project. Instead of using photos, I created little pockets with tags that the new mother can pull out to get her daughter's foot and hand print. Let me tell you this is no easy feat. With my daughter, we needed three people to get her to just press her little hand uniformly on the tag. So my best wishes to the recipient of this book - she has a big job ahead!

Here's another set of close ups. The fact is the colors are so pretty and I just went all out to make the layout a really pretty page. For once I had all the correct shades of pattern paper, ribbon, buttons, pearls, flowers and so on! Love it when that happens!!

Here is the sketch from ICR and the IBSIC inspiration photo.

Thanks so much for dropping by. If you want the details of the supplies I used in this project, please write to me at craftingtillthecrackofdawn@gmail.com. I am more than happy to share!
