It's been a while since my last post.... but, I have some scrappy goodness to share with you! I have been busy the last two months making mini-albums for baby shower gifts. This first one was for my friend who is due to have a son in December.
The 8x8 chipboard cover has a layer of batting and covered with light blue "baby" print fabric. I added blue and white tulle, ribbon, feathers, and a few small blue flowers. The larger flowers were made by me from white felt. I hot glued them then sprayed them with Glimmer Mist. The album was bound using the Cinch, then I wove a length of white tulle through the wire and tied it at the top with an added "baby" charm.
This is the first interior spread, meant for newborn pics. The others are for each month, up to baby's first birthday. I didn't post all the pages because there were so many! (26 pages per album!)
The second album was for my sister-in-law, who is having a little girl in January.
This cover was also padded with a layer of batting, and covered with pink "baby" fabric. I also added some lace ribbon on the outside of both front and back covers. I only put it on 3 sides so it wouldn't interfere with the binding. White tulle, ribbon, feathers, and hand-made felt flowers (sprayed with Glimmer Mist) complete the front of the album.
While they both turned out cute, the girl one is my favorite. :) After the pages were done, I didn't want to give it away! But, I have more of the paper, so I can always make another one for me... and since I have 3 daughters I would definitely use it. :)
I hope everyone had a great Halloween! We did! :)
