I'm Back!

After being off of Etsy for a while, Southern Scrapbooking has decided to list some items on Etsy again! Check out all of the fun stuff and new items that I am working on. Don't miss the shipping deal going on now: Buy two or more items and get FREE SHIPPING!

Lunch Bag Albums

Southern Scrapbooking had it's first debut at a public event this past weekend. I participated in Mule Day, which is a HUGE craft fair in Winfield, Alabama. Well, it STORMED! Not just for a little while either. It was so bad that we had to pack up and leave at 11am. It was definitely a learning experience and I got to have a great visit with my Mom while we sat in the rain. My dear friend over at Livistitches(www.livistitches.net) was there as well and although it didn't turn out like we were expecting, we are now a little more brave and are staying open to trying again next year!

One of the items I was selling at Mule Day were these Lunch Bag Albums. They are so fun to make and take a normal lunch bag and turn it into a keepsake.

These are the basic materials I start with to make a Lunch Bag Album.

Here is the result! They have 14 pages to add your photo's and personalize to your taste.

Tie the ribbons on the side up to keep it closed and you'll be ready to pull it out to share pictures and brag about your little one!

These items - PLUS MANY MORE - will be on my Etsy page soon, so keep checking back at www.southernscrapbooking.etsy.com

Card with Gift Card holder

I have been trying out new card styles and I just completed this one and I really like how it turned out. I like the side opening with the ribbon and inside I made a place for a gift card.

I put my Barnes and Noble gift card from Christmas in there to show how it fits. I guess any new mom would probably love a gift card to B&N to fill their baby's new library!

It's been a while!

I haven't posted in so long! Sorry!! I have been thinking about my business and where I want to go with it and I have decided to stop listing on Etsy...at least for now. I am going to focus more on custom orders and I am also considering putting my things in some local shops. All of my items I list are for sale, so if you see something you like, please just email me! I would love to do business with you! Please continue to visit my blog as I now plan to update it regularly!!

I just love my new "Animal Alphabet" stamp set from K&Company(one of my favorites!). It would be so cute to spell out names with the letters!

1st Birthday

Summer fun! The colors are very bright, but I just couldn't get the lighting right to get a good shot.

What I've been up to!

It's been over a week since I have posted on my blog! I have been really busy with a Baby book order and also a special birthday present scrapbook for my Grandmother's 80th birthday. Between those two, I have had very little time to do any other scrapbooking! I have posted a few pictures from the baby book...the mother to be who will be receiving it doesn't follow my blog - Yet! So I'm not spoiling the surprise. The beach baby page is for Etsy. The warm weather has me dreaming of the beach and with Spring Break coming up, I thought a "Beach Baby" page would be great in someones scrapbook.

Beach Baby page for Esty. It has very vibrant colors that I thought would look great with a little girls cute bathing suit. The paper has glitter on it and the circle on the bottom center is for the date.

Nap time page for Baby Book.

Your First Bath page. This page is based on a sketch I found on Got Sketch. If you haven't been there yet, you must visit it! It is great!
