The Bump

The belly page is a more apt title for this page I think. This was a fun LO to do. Inspired by a LO in Simple Scrapbooks ("SS") Nov/Dec 2006 issue and one of my very first black and white picture. Had originally thought to use white cardstock then I stopped and changed to pink bling cardstock. Why?...mainly because I already knew that baby no. 2 would be a boy and figured what other opportunity would I have to use my pink cardstock if not used for myself. This LO had one of my sis-in-laws going..."Pink??!! You??". Hahaha.





Materials: Textured Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Bling; Patterned paper: K & Company; Page Pebbles, Crystal Brad and Paper Edger: Making Memories; Paper Scuffer: Lasting Impressions; Metal Embellishment: American Traditional Designs (l'il stackers); Alpha Stickers: Provo Craft; Rub-ons: Heidi Swapp for Advantus; Pen: ZIG Opaque by Kuretake; Journaling Template: Chatterbox; Ink: Tim Holtz for Ranger Industries.




This photo was taken on Xmas Day 2006 after the annual xmas meal at Karl's. Insisted that the Hubby took the photo specifically. I had never actually recorded the ups and downs of being pregnant and had also never done a LO on anything about me. The LO in SS really struck me. From the photo to the journaling. It was inspiration to record a little something on being pregnant.


The photo edges were distressed the same way as the "2 of a Kind" layout but this time the distress effect was much clearer. The title was created by sticking alpha stickers on clear page pebbles. My only problem was that the square page pebbles were kinda yellowish in colour. Dunno why cos the pack said clear. Hehe maybe yellow with age as I bought them in 2004. The journaling was fun to do. The wavy lines were drawn out using the Chatterbox Journaling Genie template (Funky - see below). I would love to collect all 6 of these templates but have only managed to find only one so far. I have the vanishing ink pen that goes with this template range but have not as yet dared to use the pen on my layouts for fear that the ink won't disappear altogether. I still rely on my handy pencil and eraser.
