Yet another Baby Album

I love making these albums, and I know that when the recipient gets one, they love it too. This one was for my trainer from a few years back. She moved away and I didn't even know she was back in the city, when I got an invitation to a baby shower for Krista. Not realizing it was her, I declined the invitation, stating that I didn't know a Krista. I later got an email telling me who it was, then got busy making this book. Needless to say I went to the shower!

The baby is a boy, hence Prince Charming and is due on November 20th.

Retirement Book

Wow, just realised there are no posts for May. So I will post 2 today!

I have had this lovely black and white paper pack for some time now and had been waiting for the right project to use it for. I had also found a mini stack that was also black and white and had a letter of the alphabet for each page.
So I got to work on this retirement book for someone I have only known for the past 9 months. She is the resource teacher for the primaries in my school. It was because I don't know her well that this book was so easy and pleasurable to make. I didn't know the colours she liked or her 'style', so that make it really easy to get to work on.

That is it. I just added a little bit of red to each page, to give it a little colour, and I LOVE it.

I gave Paula the book last week and she told me she was going to keep it beside her bed and will add things as she does them.

Latest Baby Boy Book

  I heard at the end of last week that my friend's daughter had her baby, a little boy named Calvin. In the same email with that information was the annual invitation to my friend's home, after Christmas. So I got busy on making yet another paper bag book. Here is the result.

His name is Calvin

These are places to add photos

There are many tags to add journaling or photos

I embossed the rabbit on this page

Perhaps add a baby sleeping photo here

Other memories can be added here

I love this page

This is the last page

And this is the bag I made to put it in.

Please add any comment below, I'd really appreciate it.

Card Sketches.

I got the idea for this sketch book from Kristina's blog. I used the PDF files she offers and and decorated the front with fall colours. I've already added some sketches some of which are ideas from Kristina's blog.
