SCRAPBOOKS

Baby Girl Mini Scrapbooks

I was commissioned to create these 2 beautiful Baby Girl Mini Scrapbooks.

They were such fun to create and I would love to be able to create more of these to sell on my Etsy store, coming soon.

 I made my own mini albums by cutting down A4 files and covered them in fun covers. I then printed  the pages onto card-stock and joined 2 together to create a pocket, by leaving the top section open.  The next step was to create pockets for each month of the year to save all those precious memories from babies first year.  I stuck embellishments on each page, leaving space to add photos and to write little notes.  Some of the embellishments were also left to flap over for more little notes. A little trade secret:  I used Graphic Stock files and other ephemeral which I had in stock. 

I think that you can agree that these are just too adorable for Babies First Year.
