Baby Boy Mini Album

This summer I had a random burst of inspiration and out of it bloomed a fabulous idea! I was searching online for ideas and I came across the idea of mini albums. After seaching my craft room, I realized I already had all the tools that I needed. So....I got inspired and got to work. My first album was a baby boy book for my cousin that is due in early November. I used my Cricut to cut the chipboard and background paper for all of the pages. Then I used my Big Bite to put holes in each page so I could bind them with binder rings. I used a lot of spellbinders to make the frames. I also used a variety of ribbon and stickers to make this album complete! I was very pleased with the way it turned out.

These are a few of the pictures from the album.

Birth Announcement Page ~ The frames are made with glittery

paper that I embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. I attached a cute

tag so the baby's birth information could be recorded.

The edges of this page were distressed with Tim Holtz Distress ink.

I also ripped the edges of the frames and used my curling tool to

make the edges look more aged. It was a complete creative

risk for me but I love the way it turned out!

 The frames on this page were embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and then

sanded with sandpaper to give it a unique distressed look.

This page features some of my favorite baby animals. Even

though it is a part of a baby boy book, I could not resist

using Waterfall Stickles around the frames!

This is my sweet nighty night page! I used a lot of

Glossy to make the images stand out!
