Happy 1st Birthday Princess Sophie

Here she is, my darling niece Sophie in her element surrounded by family and friends (in this case cousins Mollie and Keira), centre of attention and in her new handmade Peter Rabbit party dress - sound like anyone you know? LOL Its so cliche but I cant help but say how incredibly fast time flies when your'e having fun, it seems only yesterday that I became an Aunty for the first time, and I'm loving every minute! Looks like Soph is loving the fun and games at her Hello Kitty Birthday party:

Love this party stuff !  Q .is this a magic wand??

To celebrate her first year I decided to make Soph her very own scrapbook of memories and milestones. As my sister Jo and Soph are all the way over in the UK, most of our communication is via email, texts, Skype and the like, obviously not the same as real life but nevertheless I appreciate our ability to keep in close contact via modern technology. So much valuable information - thoughts, feelings, precious memories are recorded that way nowdays, so I typed up all the text messages and Facebook updates that Jo has sent me. This was the perfect journalling in the scrapbook and those precious memories will never be lost or forgotten.

Now to the crafty bit - I used the Stampin Up! Nursery Suite Specialty Paper with the Nursery Suite Quick Accents (sticky diecuts) which meant I could fly through the pages and also keep my colours coordinated - Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz, Regal Rose and So Saffron. These are gorgeous materials just perfect for scrapping the little people, and also make lovely and quick cards. I also used the Timeless Type Alphabet through the Big Shot for the letters and a few other dies through the album such as Top Note and Hearts and Brackets. Here's the titlepage of Sophie's Scrapbook:

Speaking of scrapbooking, its Scrappin Sunday again on the 1st May - May Day in fact! So let me know if you can join us for an afternoon of creative fun, choose your own projects, share inspiration and use all my SU tools including the amazing BIG SHOT - the best way to cut and emboss cardstock! If you havn't tried this genious invention why not try mine.

Will try to post some more Tigergirl Creations over the wonderfully long Easter weekend, but for now HAPPY EASTER, stay safe, eat chocolate, create and enjoy life!
