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

Twin baby keepsake

Hello everyone

Well I was thinking the other day what can I make then I had a bright idea,

what about a pram keepsake for the expectant mother of twins.

Good idea except it took a while to make it with all the fiddly bits but I think it was

worth it in the end.

I made this using a template from "ArtyFarty Designs"

they are very easy to use and there are written  instructions as

well as step by step pictures.

I decorated the hood with some lace and also the pram

centre apron.

I bought some lovely material from "The Range"

and placed it inside the pram

There are step by step instructions for making the box as well.

I had to finish it off with my favourite Dies

"Poppystamps triple stitched bloom"

Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog and any 

comments you are kind enough to leave are as always greatly appreciated.

Baby Boy Keepsake

Evening all.

After I posted my Baby girl keepsake my friend saw it and asked

me to make one for her niece who is expecting a boy, so here I am sharing it with you.

I used the template from 'Artyfartydesigns' the same as my last post, the only thing

I changed was the card. Instead of using papers I used card from Lime Tree and I also 

made a pillow for this one, I have applied loads of bling to it and added some 

'Poppy stamps Triple stitched blossom trio'

I also made a pillow for this one, I downloaded a template

from Pintrest and added a bit of lace round the edges

Plenty of bling

The cot end pieces look effective with the 

die cuts I have added

Thank you for looking in and all your comments are

always very much appreciated

New Baby boy

Morning everyone

Its a lovely day here today, clear blue skies but a cool breeze, need to get

out into the garden later

I have made a new baby card today

I layered my 7 x 7 card using white linen and Blue spot 1 and Blue baby feet 1

from Limetree Craft, the card is beautiful.

I made my frame using "Sue Wilson" Noble pierced squares

Then added "Poppystamps" String and bow and "Poppystamps" Stitched triple bloom

which is one of my favourite dies, i have used "Tim Holtz" distressed ink on my flowers and
it is "Tumbled Glass"

The leaves are from a chinese die I got from The Works

Not sure where the Stork die is from, "Sue Wilson's" It's a boy

then added some pearls

Thank you for stopping by and any comment you are kind enough 

to leave are greatly appreciated xx Janis xx
