Mini Album Baby girl

Well here I am at last, it has been a while since I posted and as it has been pouring

down with rain I thought I would get round to posting my mini album.

This is only the second one I have made so it is still new to me.

The album measures 8" x 6" x 3 and a half "

The album cover paper is from some old stock I had and I have used lace and dies

from china and flowers and corners from "Wild Orchid crafts"

This page is the inside cover of the album

The dies used are from "Spellbinders"

and I have decorated the pockets using pearl string from China which

costs £8.50 for 50 meters ( Bargain )

It opens up to reveal pockets on either side and a large pocket to 

hold tags etc

I have decorated the page with flower dies from China

Page one outer flaps made using "Sue Wilson Noble Squares Dies"

to make two picture frames

It opens up to reveal another pocket holding a chart and two small envelopes.

"Sue Wilson Gemini dies" are used again to make the pretty border and I have added lace

Page two is made again using the gorgeous pearl string and "Poppy stamps Stitched triple blooms"

I have added ribbon using "Brother P-Touch embelish machine" to print the wording.

It opens up to reveal another pocket holding a chart for Baby's progress

and it closes using a velcro dot

Pages three and four are both the same, I have made a waterfall for photographs

there is space for 10 photos on each page

They are secured in place using a lace frill secured by a velcro dot

Page five I have made two pockets for left hand side of the page

I have made two envelopes to hold little keepsakes

Both of the pockets have cards which can either hold photographs or

updated information on baby's progress

Page six I have made to look like a large envelope

I have decorated it with lace and flowers from Ali Express China

It opens up to reveal a pocket with Baby's first steps chart and tags

Thin inside of the back cover has two envelopes, one for Baby's first lock of hair

and the other one is for the Baby's hospital wristband, the giraffe die is from China

I have made a large pocket to hold six cards, each side has space for a photograph

and progress information for baby month by month for a year

As always thank you very much for looking and any comments you are kind enough

to leave are always hugely appreciated

It's a girl

Afternoon all

Well it's not a very nice day today so I am in my craft room again.

Hubby gave me permission to buy myself a Gemini machine as my eBosser

wasn't embossing very well so I wanted to try this gorgeous little

die to see how well it would emboss and I am so happy with the result.

My base card is approx 7" x 7" and I have layered it with

white linen card and Pink baby feet 1 card available from

"Limetree craft"

The giraffe die is one from China and you can buy it from

www.aliexpress.com I think it cost me about £1.70, I used

"Gathered twigs Distress ink" before I removed the die

The lace is also available from AE and I got 14yards for £7.50

It's a girl die is from "Sue Wilson Creative Expressions"

I added a bow and flat back gem also from AE.

Thank you for looking in and any comments you are kind enough to

leave as always are greatly appreciated.

a lovely gift for any new mum.

pattern is for "Cherub 2 cot & box"

Strips - 4mm craft straws or 18 strips of card 5mm wide, I chose the card option

Mattress - 1 X A5 patterned paper

Inside/Outside panels - 1 X A4 patterned paper/card

Quilt - 1 X A5 patterned paper/card

Box - 3 X A4 and 1 X A5 card

Box Acetate - 1 X A4

I made mine using white double sided Centura pearl card and papers

from First Edition "Its a girl"

Baby girl

Morning peeps, lovely weather we are having at the moment, spring is almost upon us.

Today i thought i would post this little baby card.

I have layered the base card using centura pearl card, then added the Die'sire

die cut. I cut a small square of pink card and embossed it with the dots embossing folder and

 mounted the horse with double sided foam tape. I brushed the horse with some Spun Sugar

Distressing ink on the main, tail, saddle and rocker. Mounted the sentiment with double sided

foam tape and then added the ribbon and pearls

To make this card I have used the following items

7x7 base card

Centura pearl card

Die'sire Decadence

Marianne Rocking horse

Circle die from The Works

Dots embossing folder

Thank you for stopping by and for any comments you

are kind enough to leave
