Gumdrop's Baby Book

(none of this post is endorsed. it is solely my opinion.)

We all know how shopping in Hobby Lobby can be...like shopping in Target. You go in with a list of about 2 items and you come out having bought almost $100 worth of great stuff but mostly things you didn't plan on. So, of course, that happened to me today. Good thing J is out of town & can't get mad at onto me...today. =)

We are not finding out the gender of Gumdrop until he/she decides to make their appearance into this world. So, that makes it even harder to find things that fit into our gender neutral theme. Oh, well, since you asked, our theme is white, gray, orange, and teal with elephants being our animal of choice. =)

I went shopping today for some things I want for the nursery. One of my main goals was to find some kind of baby book. I was side-tracked in the scrapbooking section when I saw the BEST set of scrapbook paper for a baby book. When I say best, that is my personal opinion of course. It was a 12x12 paper pad that is part of the "Hello Baby" by Simple Stories collection. SO CUTE!!!! I couldn't find a 12x12 album but I didn't care since the paper was so precious. I found this 6x8 binder that is part of Simple Stories SN@P! collection. Teal! One of our colors! and chevron! Our main pattern! I even bought 2 sets of inserts in case I wanted them as another option for layouts.

I have never done anything like this kind of scrapbooking. It seems like the Project Life type of scrapbooking where you don't have to glue anything, just insert pictures and pretty cards/paper into page protector slots. I cannot wait to get more inserts, stickers, embellishments, and eventually put pictures of my sweet Gumdrop in here! I hope to keep you posted on the progress of the book. And the nursery. I bought some things to DIY for the nursery. I can't wait to show you!
