Baby Album

All Supplies CTMH unless otherwise noted. . . I used Animal Cookies Paper Pack, Animal Cookies Stickease, white daisy ric rac, buttons, white daisy embellishment assortment, assorted buttons, natural hemp, and a 9x9 Memory Show case accordion album.



I started this little accordion album for my cousin Sara's little boy Connor. He was born in June and I am just now getting it finished! It really was easy to do. . . just finding the time to do it seemed to be the problem. These accordion albums make great gifts!!

More Baby Album Pages. . .

Here are pictures of another baby album I made! This one was ordered by a friend to give to a friend of theirs. I used a Close to My Heart Paper Pack, Caprice. Not a Baby themed paper pack, but I think it worked very well! I also used some brown ribbon, and a couple of different stamp sets. I used my Sizzix to cut out the numbers. To see my original post, just scroll down or click on the Baby Album link on the right side of the page! Enjoy! And please do not hesitate to ask any questions!

Here is the opening page of the album. There is a place for a 4x6 photo. . . you could also put all of the baby's birth information on this page too!!




this page is for pictures at the Hospital! It fits 3 4x6 photos and has a pull-out tab for journaling!



These two pages hold 2 4x6 photos and have a pull-out tab for journaling. I created several pages like this. . .one for each month of the baby's first year. . .and one for the first week.



a pocket page with spots for two 4x4 photos on the front of the pocket. . . and the inside with tags for more photos, journaling, or other items!!! I imagined this page to be used for and and feet pictures, but it could be used for anything! The facing page is for 2 4x6 photos!

A Baby Album. . .

Something I sort of fell into was making baby albums for people. I made a couple for friends and then a few have been ordered by other people. The album I am posting today I made for my dear friend Darcie and her precious baby boy Nolan!!

I used the same basic pattern for each album, though I used different paper and embellishments for each one. . . and I varied the pattern just a bit for each one. In this particular album, I used the Baby Bee line from Crate Paper and stamps, inks, the album, cardstock, and ribbons from Close to My Heart.

One of my favorite albums was done with the Close to My Heart Paper pack Caprice! Not a baby themed paper pack, but it was so cute!!! I will try and post pictures of some of the different albums I have done! Here are a few pages from Ms. Darcie's Album and some of the dimensions. . . . everything is Close to My Heart unless otherwise noted. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

I used a 9x9 Garden Green Album and I decorated the opening inside page with Nolan's name and specifics. I also left room for a picture of him. I like the 9x9 size, because it is easy to work with. Two 4x6 pictures easily fit on the page. . . and I find it very easy coming up with layouts for these size of pages.

The first thing I did (after drawing out a plan) was cut several pieces of 12x12 White Daisy Cardstock down to 9x9. I used these as the bases for my pages. The left over pieces I used for the Journaling pieces and tags!!! It worked out perfect!

The first two pictures are out of order. . .when you post, you have to upload your pictures in reverse order. . .or at least that is how I have to do it, because I haven't figured out how NOT to do that!!! Anyway, so this is actually the 2nd page of the At the Hospital Layout. . .

Here is the first page of the At the hospital page. . . this is made for 2 vertical 4x6 photos. The patterned paper pocket on the left side of the page is 3x8. I used a circle punch to make the semi-circle in the pocket. The inside journaling tab is 2 1/2 x 7 1/2. I used a CTMH journaling stamp to make lines to journal on! Then I used a button as the pull guide! I have these pages made for each month of the baby's first year and then a couple of extras for special pages, such as holidays or special events.




This page is meant for vertical photos. . .either 2 4x6 or 3 photos trimmed down a bit. I have a couple of these pages throughout the book. These are meant to hold additional photos from a particular month.




This page is for 2 4x6 photos. . . also a page to hold additional photos from a month.



here is a pocket page with a 5x7 photo spot! The pocket can hold anything from journaling, to extra pictures, cards, or memorabilia.


and here is a card I made for Darcie, Ryan, and Nolan. . . I used the same line of paper and a Close to my Heart Stamp set called, Random Thoughts and Desert Sand ink
