Eight is GR8!

Kaylee is turning 8 and getting baptized on Saturday! We love this sweet, caring girl of ours and we're proud of her decision. We're looking forward to a memorable weekend with family and friends.

Here are the announcements/invitations that I created. I created standard sized cards for family and bookmark sized cards for her friends.

I FINALLY used my Cuttlebug which made these really fast and easy. I embossed and sanded the front out of Breeze CS. I used Amethyst CS and stamped 'Eight is gr8!' using black ink. Ever since I made the card (posted here) when my nephew turned eight last year, I knew I wanted to use the same idea for Kaylee and I think it worked perfectly for these!

Here is the inside - with a poem I found on Sugar Doodle.

And here are the bookmarks - I stamped them with the corner flourish from the Key To My Heart stamp set in Breeze ink.

And then here is the Baptism Book that I created for her. This was another super easy project but I am so thrilled with how it turned out - I can't wait for her to fill it in! I used Silhouette Simply Snapshot 9x9 pages along with a 9x9 Accordian album. Thanks to a file I found on Sugar Doodle, I just copied and pasted the information I wanted to include in her book. I did have to tweak it to fit and change some things to my liking but it went together really quickly!

Here are some close-ups of each page...

...this is the cover - a picture of her in her white dress will go under the Top Coat.

...here is the back cover

...here is where friends and family will sign

...Articles of Faith page

...Baptism Day details that she will fill in afterwards

...Church Leaders page

...the left page here will be filled in by Kaylee - I saved the right page for something special - I hope it works out like I want it.

Thanks for looking!
