Stamped Stuff: Digital Baby Pages
I'm going to be guest posting over at Memories by Christine in a few days. She has a baby theme going on this month, so I thought I'd share some pictures of some of my favorite babies. These pages were all made in Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio program, which is my favorite toy in the world these days!
This is Koston, my great-great nephew, along with his Daddy Robbie, and his proud grandparents. I wanted a "manly" theme, so I went with the Old Olive graph paper for the background and then added some highlights with our Extreme Elements sets. I really struggled with the color combo on this, but finally settled for Not Quite Navy for the photo borders, and Dusty Durango and So Saffron for the stars with a grey drop shadow to give them a little depth. I added a little bit of zigzag stitching along the edges just for giggles.
This is yours truly. A few of my very rare baby pictures. I chose a Brocade patterned background in our Going Grey shade for both pages with a patterned paper in my favorite Cherry Cobbler paired with Very Vanilla. Then I matched the page borders and text in more Cherry Cobbler With a few Old Olive accents like the leaves and the little swirlies on the 2nd page. I love being able to size and rotate elements however I want to get the maximum use out of my elements. I used the same flower from our Vintage Vogue set and added some silver buttons to make pretty centers for them.
This is my youngest granddaughter and grandson. Both adorable redheads! This was literally a 5 minute page because this floral border is a stamp set you can just pop in there. All I had to do was size the pictures and line them up on the Certainly Celery background and toss on a couple of borders. Easy peesey! I love pages that put more emphasis on the pictures.
This is my late best friend Maxine holding my son Blake on the day he was born. I love this color combo - Baja Breeze with Whispter White and a little bit of black. I wanted the embellishment to show up a bit more, so I duplicated it in black and then layered it to give it a bit of the pop. The lacy borders around the picture really set it off nicely. It's a simple page, but with a memorial page like this, you want more emphasis on the picture and the journalling.
This is my granddaughter Ella about a year ago. Now she's got about 6 inches of flaming red hair. It's amazing to see how much they change in just a year or so. Naturally for a girly page, you want it all fussy and frilly, so I added our Medallion stamp in Pirouette Pink and then faded it out to about 50%. Then I added a bit of lace trim, some little swirlies in grey, and a few assorted flower embellishments. if I'd wanted a hybrid page, I could have added the real elements after printing and they would have match perfectly, but since I share a lot of pages online, I don't do a lot of hybrid work. Then I added her name in a silver frame down in the corner.
Please note that a couple of these pages were inspired by samples posted in our online repository for Stampin' Up! The Koston page was inspired by a sample posted in our monthly demonstrator magazine Stampin' Success. It's a great resource provided to all active demonstrators at no cost.
Just as an FYI, I do sell this program and if you order it from me before Thursday, you can get in on our great Sale-a-bration special and you'll be able to receive an extra stamp set, digital download, or several other incentive items for free.
