I am amazed at all the ways new parents have to capture the joys of parenthood. Cute onesies with each month adorning it to snap a photo and track the baby's growth - why didn't I think of that?!? And so many new parents are writing to their babies and children with the intent of giving their thoughts to them as a gift when they get older.
I have a friend who wanted a journal book to capture her thoughts as she becomes a grandma. The Sweet Dreams DSP is one of my favorites from the Occasions Catalog and perfect for this assignment.
I think this turned out sweet. I added punched out Sweetheart hearts and words using non-SU thinlits. The sentiment is from a single Photopolymer set that was released this year called Snuggles and Smooches (I love this set).
The journal is made using a standard composition book that I got at Office Max. I usually buy a dozen of them in the Fall when you can get 10 for $10. The inside covers are covered in solid Hello Honey card stock. I also adhered an envelope on the inside for any trinkets or memory items she might want to keep.
Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget on Tuesday April 21st, Stamping' Up! will release the retired items list. I will post it Tuesday morning. Remember these items go FAST so if there is anything you have been thinking about getting don't delay.
Cheers,
Michelle
