we lived in Virginia, our son Lucas was born. Unlike Austin, who looked nothing like he does now when he was a baby, Lucas was Lucas right away. I used one of his baby pictures for one of the scrapbook pages for the display samples for Fun & Fast Notes.
I picked this picture, because he is wearing a little outfit in BRILLIANT BLUE!!! I had to use it so I could get rid of some of that very obnoxious Brilliant Blue Prints Designer paper. I couldn’t believe that I really liked the page when it was done. I mean….with Brilliant blue paper and all. LOL
This page started out with a 6″ x 6″ piece of Bashful Blue cardstock. I think I stamped or wheeled something over it in White Craft ink, but I can’t remember and the photo doesn’t show. It might have been the Flannel Plaid background.
I cut a 1 3/4″ x 6″ piece of Brilliant Blue Prints designer paper and adhered it to the right hand side of the page. Next I stamped the saying over and over in black ink on Shimmery White cardstock and added dots in between.
For the tag I stamped the Baby Buggy image in Bashful Blue on my Shimmery White tag, inked up only new baby in black, stamped that on the top of the tag and wrote the journaling with the black journaling marker over the image. I punched out a circle from the Designer paper and taped it over the top of the tag, punched a hole and added light blue organdy (retired) and black gingham ribbon to it.
Wasn’t he a CUTE baby? He turned 11 years old last month. Time flies!

Love the picture and layout, and then I realized your Lucas shares my birthday, so I had to comment!! Of course, I was born a couple decades before he was, but still… ;o)
Oh, Beate, you are really something! When I left this morning there was only the sketch challenge on your blog and now you have 5 new posts. They (the cards) are all great and so inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

Your son is very handsome Beate. I can hear how proud you are of your family by just by reading your post. And, you layout is great!
What a sweet layout! Your son and mine are almost the same age! He is a sweetie pie!
That is just TOO SWEET! How cute is he, oh my goodness!
Baby boy blue! Just precious as can be! Great page for your memories! Deb
A great layout for an adorable baby boy! Doesn’t time just fly! I admire your use of the Brillant Blue paper although it is not your favorite. You pushed your creativity and certainly rose to your own challenge. I’ve worked all weekend and this the first chance I’ve gotten to check all my favorite blogs so I just want to say that I particularly like the Sweet Baby Girl card! The colors are awesome! Hope I have time to participate in this weekends challenge. I love the Hero Arts note cards that I won from your previous challenge! Your the best!
This is way cute! Lucas is even cuter:)
I love what you did with the colors. Brilliant Blue is a challenge in itself, and you did an awesome job. And the layout rocks too.
You have motivated me (and others I’m sure) to start thinking about scrapbook pages.
Thanks for sharing such precious photos & work with us.
I love the picture…My oldest is turning 12 next Saturday…I can’t believe it! Just where did that time go???

He was such a cute baby! Cute page too!
The baby is so beautiful. The pattern is very excellent to make card or scrapbooking. I like your idea. The 6×6 make any for frames or card.
Love the layout and such a cutie baby.
Love this page! And that’s so interesting about how the boys’ looks changed or stayed the same. He’s sooo darn cute in that photo!
What an AWESOME page!!!! The colors look sooooooo very good!!
You definitely have the Midas Touch, Beate. You performed magic as usual even though you didn’t like the BBDP. You go girl!!!
You even create beautiful children, Lucas was a beautiful baby and I know he’s just as handsome now because I’ve seen him in your beach photos TFS.
