Sweet Baby Boy Book

I realized as I watched my baby boy paper supply getting low, I've done several baby boy books and not so many baby girl books! And what do I get an order for today - another baby boy book! Ha! Sounds like I may need to go shopping. :)

This one was a gift to my b-i-l's niece.  She's having her boy in October, naming him Lane.  Isn't that sweet? Anyway, enjoy the pics!

Cute cover for baby Lane.  All Boy! Judging by the amount of Carhart this child received at the shower... all boy describes him well! (And he isn't even here yet!)

I tried adding more than one pic to some of the layouts because honestly, when you have a new baby - especially a first baby - you take a million photos!  19 pics just won't cover it! So this added a few more photos to the album.  I'm not sure I'm sold on it, but it's all good.  You can let me know your thoughts.

I have an order for a Girl Scout inspiration scrapbook, then will dive back into baby boy world! :) You know I'll take you along for the journey.

As always, feel free to visit http://pressedclovers.etsy.com to see what I have going on there!

Boy to Teen Scrapbook

I will always stand by this:  My customers come up with the coolest ideas - much more creative than what I could think of on my own.  Here is a great example! A grandmother is giving her grandson this cool scrapbook that follows him from birth to his teen years.  What a treasure! Love it!

All the photos from the book are featured on my facebook page at www.facebook.com/pressedclovers.  You should follow- I post coupon codes and giveaways on my facebook page.

Admit it, this is a neat idea.  I added extra lines and space for journaling so grandma has plenty of space to share her thoughts with this special child.  I want to squeal every time I look at it! Love it!

Notebooks

Thinking about my Sweet Niece and wanting to give her something cool to get her excited about 6th grade, I came up with notebook covers for 3-ring binders.  You know the ones I'm talking about with the clear plastic sleeve so you can slip in your own paper to personalize the notebook? Well, I used some of the digital papers I've purchased and put something together for her. 

I liked them so much I created a few others for people - my penpal's daughter, my aunt, ME! But they are so stinkin' cute! and easy to make.  What do you think? I decided not to sell them because I just didn't know what someone would spend on this?? But I do think they are snazzy. 

Seriously EASY to make.  The colored band covers up where the two types of "papers" meet, so you don't have a random rough edge there.  Add a white circle, a text box, and you are ready to go!

Otherwise, I've been busy on a scrapbook order for a friend, then I think I'll make up a few to add to my Etsy shop for any interested buyers.  My next one may be a beach theme because I have some cute papers. :) 

Mother's Day Book - #2!

This weekend I wrapped up the second Mother's Day book and I do really like it.  As the folks in my office said - it's more sophisticated than most of my other books.  This is true, but it makes sense being that it's for a mom and not a child. :)

So, what do you think??? Mommy enough without screaming great-grammy? Fill me in on what you think of it!  And view the entire shop here.

 I have to tell you - this is one of my favorite pages EVER.  

 This is my Mom's favorite page from this book. :)

So there you have it!! :)  Any thoughts?  Leave me a comment so I can keep learning and growing from the feedback.  I'm working on a baby - 15 years right now, but then what?? Baby books, baby registries, beach book? Not sure.

The Perfect Gift for Weddings/Babies

Many years ago, my mom asked if I could find a registry book that a bride-to-be could take to every shower and just keep adding to the listings with each event.  Made sense, sounded like a great idea... but it was no where to be found. So, I created it. 

These have been improved over the years and are such a huge help to the bride or mom-to-be.  Each shower has its own title page to record all those details you'd want to remember many years from now.  Each shower has pages for recording the gift and giver, with a check box to mark off when Thank You notes are mailed.  There is even a section for the gifts received outside of a shower (by mail, those who missed showers, etc)  

It is really the perfect gift for anyone having a shower. Check it out! You can order a custom registry book at my store on Etsy: Pressed Clovers!

Ghoulish Custom Order! :)

I love it when you, the customer, comes up with really cool ideas for a scrapbook.  Check out this all Halloween book, where this Mom can keep all the fun costume pics together in one album.  LOVE IT! She requested for the pages to start off kid-like and get progressively scarier as her son aged.  We also added some journal pages to record all the fun from each year.  It turned out so incredibly cute just makes me want to SQUEAL! :)

Special Order Coming Right Up!

I wanted to share this custom order request from a mom in PA.  She does a scrapbook each year for her son from the beginning of the school year to the end of the school year, with all the holidays in between.  Love it! Can't you imagine how cool it will be to look back and see how he has changed year to year?

Anyway, she wanted more than one picture per page, which really helped open my eyes to doing pages outside of the one 4x6 picture like I do now.  So it was a great learning time for me, too. Please excuse these HORRIBLE pictures, they were taken with my phone and uploaded for quick approval.  The joys of not having high speed internet out in the country where I live. :)

I just thought it turned out cute and I can see a little boy's smiling face showing up all year long in these pages. :)  Those without mats she can fit two or more photos on if she trims them down.  The layouts with mats can hold a 4x6 and a 2x3.  What are you thoughts?
