Sweet Dreams Baby Book - LOTS OF CRICUT

You know there's nothing like a newborn baby to make you smile!  Jacob's teacher, Ms. Pennington, is expecting her first grandchild this week so I decided I would make her a brag book for some of her photos.  I don't know about you but I've never met a grandmother yet that didn't have plenty of pictures of their grandchildren to show you.


For this project, I used LOTS of Cricut Cartridges.  I found a Rusty Pickle Chipboard Album that I bought at one of the CKC conventions that Mom and I attended.  I used the Basic Grey Oh Boy Collection to cover the chipboard with 6 x 6 1/2 pieces.


Book Recipe

COVER:Frame - I used Design Studio to make the frame using the George Cartridge.  I welded two squares together then welded stars inside the frame.
Used Create A Critter to cut:
Sheep - 2 1/2"
Sweet Dreams - 1 1/2"
Clouds - 1 1/2", 3/4"
Stars - 1 1/4"
Moon - 1 1/4"


Popped the sheep and one of the clouds to add dimension.










PAGES 2 AND 3

Baby Blessings - cut at 1.5 x 3.8" with Wild Card and Design Studio
Heart Border - Martha Stewart Heart Lace Punch
Train - 1 3/4" - Create a Critter



PAGES 4 AND 5

Rocket - 6" (page), 4" (tag) - Just Because Cards Cartridge
Wagon - 4 1/2" - Just Because Cards Cartridge


PAGES 6 AND 7

Bear - 2 1/2" - Doodlecharms
Bottle Borders - 1" and 2" - Doodlecharms



PAGES 8 and 9

Giraffe - 4" - Create A Critter
Lion - 2" - Create A Critter


PAGES 10 AND 11

Heaven Sent - 1 1/4" - Stamping
Rattle - 1 1/4" Stamping

I made pockets out of the mats where the pictures will be placed on several of the pages and inserted tags so that Ms. Pennington will have a place to make journal entries.
