Need creative, crafty gifts for family, friends, or for yourself? Don’t have the time to make a crafty gift or to scrapbook your own memories? Let Maryanne Nelson at Scrappy Gifts help you out! Maryanne specializes in making scrapbooks: everyday scrapbooks, calendar, baby and wedding scrapbooks, event guest books, scrapbook layouts, and creative gifts: scrappy canvas, clocks, and boxes. She is so creative and all of her Scrappy Gifts are handmade and oh-so fabulous! I always thought that when I had children I would be oh-so-crafty and create them the most gorgeous scrapbooks full of fun stickers & paper, gorgeous photos, lots of sparkles and ribbons….weeelllll, unfortunately, that didn’t happen.
I never found the time for it and any time I did try and fit it in, I was left in the middle of a project having to pick everything up which led to much frustration! So, the bins of scrapbook supplies are still sitting gathering dust. I wish I would have known about Maryanne and Scrappy Gifts two years ago before my daughter was born. Instead of investing all that money in scrapbook supplies never to be used, I would have just bought one of her scrappy gifts baby books and Wah-lah! Super scrap booking mommy is born! Maryanne sent me my very own Customized 28 Page Baby Calendar & Scrapbook for my new little boy! I am absolutely loving it! The book is full of crafty premade pages are put together with fun papers and stickers. She has created each month with different paper patterns, so each month is unique but they are all coordinated! It is very similar to a baby book with monthly calendars to fill in all those amazing milestones, a section to write notes about what is happening that specific month in your babies development, and of course space for a picture or two!
I can also add my own special stickers and embellishments if I feel like it, so not all those scrap book materials will totally go to waste! When I sit down to write in this scrapbook I don’t feel the frustration I felt when I was trying to create my own. It is ready to use, no glue sticks, double stick tape, paper scraps all over. Just me, a pen, a picture or two and memories! You will most definitely not find anything this unique in a store and I love that it is handmade! I am so glad I have this book to record Hollis’ first year, it is a treasure! This would be the most excellent gift for an expecting mommy! Maryann offers many other scrap book designs for several different occasions, as well as fun scrappy gifts! She offers already made, ready to ship items as well as items that are made to order, customized to your unique needs! I think this Paradise Scrappy Box is such a fun idea! You open it up and have so many different pages to write on or place pictures to record your memories!
