A Gift For a Friend!



One of my girlfriends gave birth to a beautiful baby girl a couple of weeks ago and I haven't been able to see her yet. Our boys are going to a birthday party together tomorrow so I wanted to have a gift ready for her. When her daughter was born the standard email was sent out regarding date, size, and a bunch of absolutely stunning photos. I decided to take those photos and put together a 6x6 scrapbook for her. I will admit that I have yet to buy the new Simpy Scrappin' Milestones kit, but I did have half of one of my retired sets left over. What I did realize when I went to package it up was that I only have baby boys gift bags in my closet... that's what happens when you have two little boys back to back:) I decided to take the same idea from the little Halloween bag from yesterday and make a coordinating gift bag for the scrapbook. I really had fun using the new Big Shot Two Tags die to make the little gift tag as well. I also loved having an excuse to use up some of beautiful wide Pink Pirouette ribbon! I've got another sample of the scrapbook coming up next week... can't wait to share!
