For my creation I chose to make a "Remember" book for my daughter. I have always clipped sayings, important reminders of those everyday thoughts we sometimes forget! When I started Pinterest, I began a board to pin all the wonderful saying that I want to remember and want to make sure I pass along to my daughter! I'm sure through the years she has heard many of them! But a book to browse and remember is a good thing!
I started with a Grand Large Labels chipboard album from Want2Scrap. I covered each page with paper from K&Company Spring Blossom cut with Spellbinders Grand Label die. The front cover embellishment is die cut using Spellbinders Grand Labels and Labels Fourteen. See that fantastic bling? Nesta Bling is a fab new embellishment that fit Spellbinder dies! YES! That's right! Sigh! Life is good!
The book is a work in progress. I have added memorable sayings to three of the pages so far. This particular page also has another Labels Fourteen die cut with awesome NestaBling! Clipping and adhering pictures, favorites words in magazines etc in those large grey paged scrapbooks bring back heartfelt memories for sure! Remember those flimsy grey paged scrapbooks? We certainly did not have fabulous goods we have today! And that's a good thing!
And the following page! I edged each page with white craft ink to soften the paper a bit. This page includes one of my all time favorite sayings! Grace isn't a little prayer you say before receiving a meal, it's a way to live! Love it!
Another page! I have more to go on this page as well as finishing the remaining pages! I'll share as I complete them! I hope this book will be browsed often! And maybe some of these thoughts will be passed along to our daughter's children! Enjoy the hop! Take good care!

I love that floral paper! And I thought you put each crystal on there until I read how you did it! lol
What is not to like? I loved the pastel striped ribbon flower and all of these quotes are the best gift she'll receive. I did something similar for my daughter too. A beatutiful keepsake!

Barb this is such a fabulous idea, such a keepsake for your daughter. I hope you don't mind if I use the idea. Childeren do such funny things and your memory fades as the years pass, so nice to capture those moments.
For instance, my grand daughter, Miss Three, when I asked her for a cuddle, said to me...'you can have one tomorrow' and went to walk away. I said that makes me sad so she walked back towards me, picked a tissue out of the box near me and handed it to me saying 'there you go' and walked away. That's the sort of thing I want to capture for her.
The art work on your book is beautiful.
Cheers,

So nice. Gorgeous colors together.
