Decorating for a baby shower later this month and the theme is Cute as a Button/polka dots and the color scheme is pink, brown and orange. The 12x12 on the left came from a pack and it only had 4 sheets so I had to get resourceful and create my own. All it took was finding paper that matched and Hobby Lobby was my go to place. Their paper aisle is inspiring and stocked with many colors and patterns AND that week the papers were 50% off!!! Love it :) I used a 1.5" circle punch and duplicated the pattern. One row I had to improvise because the original sheet's circles are bigger. I am very happy with how it turned out. Whatcha think of mine on the right?

Here are some 12x12 scrapbook pages to put some of those pictures you were taking of the kids tearing open their presents, family gathering around the dinner table, or playtime in the snow like the pictures below. Scrapbooking is easier than people think, all you need are the basics supplies: pictures, paper, adhesive, scissors, paper trimmer, and embellishments like ribbon, stickers, and glitter.  Don't be intimidated by all the supplies and things that are out there, just start small. These layouts were made in minutes. Themed paper, ribbon, stickers, 3-D embellishments, and a corner rounder and you got yourself scrapbook pages.
