Cerise's Baby Album

After two years, I have finally finished Cerise's Baby Album. Hip hip hooray! And I am finally updating this blog too. Yehey! I have actually finished more layouts but taking photos of them and uploading them is a different story. LOL! I hope to be more active in scrapbooking once again and maybe inspire others to take up the hobby. :-) Here are my layouts for Cerise's baby album:

 

Your Name

I just realized that I still have a lot of unposted layouts from 2011. I started working on Cerise's baby album but haven't finished it. Still a few more layouts to go to finally be done with it. I'm hoping to finish it soon since she'll be turning two years old this year. LOL! Talk about back log! Haha!

This layout is about her name: Cecilia Amarise. Cecilia is the name of my maternal grandmother. It is likewise the name of Tita Ceci, my mom's sister, and two of my cousins, Chel and Cara. Amarise was a name that came to my mind one afternoon while I was embroidering the baby's blankets. It is a Hebrew name meaning "Given by God." :-) Cerise meany cherry in French. :-)

1st Halloween

It's the 15th! So it's another challenge at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge Blog! The challenge this time is to create a Halloween Layout and incorporate the color purple in the layout. We also have to use this sketch:


I used the pictures of Cerise's First Halloween costume for my layout. I also created it in an 8x8 format using Nikki Sivils' products for their September Challenge --- to scrap a size you don't normally scrap. I'm also submitting this layout to Scrappin' Chics' October Challenge --- to create a Halloween card, project or layout. :-)

Here's my layout:

Title: First Halloween

Journaling: Cerise wore the Flower Costume for her 1st Halloween. 10.31.10

Looking forward to seeing everyone's creations!

Girl

Here's another page from Cerise's baby album. I love doing her baby pages because I get to see how small and cute she was then. I can't believe how fast they grow. My dad took these photos at the nursery and I'm just so grateful that he also took that hospital announcement with all her statistics. Love that part of the layout. :-)

From the start of the pregnancy, I had a feeling that the baby would be a girl. I know a lot hoped that she would be a boy already since we already had 3 girls, but I just had that feeling. And the truth is, I don't mind having another girl. I love them to pieces. :-)

Title: Girl

Journaling: We knew in our hearts that you would be a girl even before the ultrasound confirmed it. We are thrilled to have you in our lives!

Cecilia Amarise

This is the cover page of my baby album for my 4th daughter, Cerise. I'm making an 8x8 album for her and I'm slowly filling up the pages. I've made quite a few layouts already but will post them one by one on this blog instead of one whole album. I'm using PageMaps sketches for this album. Thanks for looking!
