The Cuttlebug Spot Challenge-It's hip to be square

Hi!  Today I am posting my entry into the Cuttlebug Spot Tuesday Challenge.  I created a two page scrapbook layout for my youngest son, who is just starting to walk!  I am not sure who is more excited about walked, him or his siblings.  He just lights up as he steps. 

I used my Cricut to cut out the title(B is for Boy cartridge), baby with diaper(New Arrival cartidge) , blocks(Plantin School cartridge) and the footprints(New Arrival cartridge).   On the first page I used MCT dies to cute the tag, that I have embossed with a cute little sentiment. and the journaling area.  I embossed the baby's diaper with an embossing folder that gives the appearance of square quilting.   I also used a wood grain embossing folder to do a letterpress technique that makes some of the blocks look wooden.  I have a close up of the numbered blocks farther down.

I have more photo mattings on the page with journaling areas again.  The numbers for the blocks were cut from Harmony dies.  I used some more MCT dies to cute the circle and rosette.  I need to straighten up some of my photo mattings on the layout, but it really turned out cute.

 

The picture above shows the wood grain detail I described previously.  I  think that technique added a lot to these blocks.  I had so much fun with the this.  I hope you enjoyed this and thanks for stopping by.
