I love the faces my baby Little Miss is making in these photos. This was the first time she didn’t scream her way though bath time. I wanted a really pink and girly colour scheme for this scrapbook page so I’ve chosen Romantic Florals papers from Craft Sensations.
Designer Scrapbook Papers
I love the designer papers form Craft Sensations. There are loads and loads of different designs to choose from. I’m literally spoilt for choice. The quality is great, they don’t feel thin or flimsy but they are fantastically good value.
I get them from the Range and typically pay just £2.99 a pack. Even on a tight budget I can afford to have a whole stack to choose from.
Scrapbook Embellishments
This is quite a big, bold kind of a scrapbook layout with the three photos taking up a lot of space on the page. So I wanted to keep the embellishments quite simple but I felt that the layout did need a little bit of something to balance out the title in the bottom left.
I reached for one of my favourite die sets, Spellbinders Jewel Flowers and Flourishes. This die set was such a great investment! Flowers, butterflies and flourishes are very often a great “little bit of something” to add to just about any feminine card or scrapbook layout.
Scrapbook Page Title
I’m not too happy with the title on this page. I’ve die cut the letters using my XCut Mid-West Alphabet die. But they just don’t show up as well as I’d like. I’ve hand drawn around the letters in a brown felt tip pen but they are still definitely lacking the oomph I was going for.

A Little Bit About Me . . .
Hi there! Thank you so much for stopping by my little corner of the interweb. I’m Bridie.
I’ve been crafting since I was toddling around craft shows while my mum sold knitting yarn. She used to buy me a new craft kit to keep me busy. When I grew up I set up my own online craft shop and loved every minute of it. There’s is nothing like the thrill of getting to be one of the first people to see new craft collections.
I sold my business to focus on raising my two children. They’re still young so for now I’m blogging my craft projects and sharing tutorials to inspire you. I love creating handmade cards with digital stamps. I scrapbook to preserve precious memories of my kids childhoods. I knit and sew to keep my kids in comfortable, unique clothes they love. I create batch cooked meals that give me more time to craft. And because I’m not currently earning I do all of this on a teeny tiny budget.
I’ll show you all the best ways to craft on a tight budget so you can still create a life you love.
