Custom "Baby's Firsts" Mini Album

Hello crafty friends!

I have a great customer who orders cards throughout the year.  For Christmas she came up with the brilliant idea for an album of card fronts.  She wanted to celebrate a new baby in the family as well as that sweet baby's firsts, which happened quickly after she was born.

The album is 3 pages.  I will send a baptism page for the album soon EDIT: the baptism page is included below!  Who knows -- there might even be a 1st birthday page later.  I love this album idea!

This is the front page. Can you see the tag on the right side? It holds a sweet personalized sentiment.

Multi layered

Baby's first Thanksgiving!

The left  side of each page coordinates with the theme.

Baby's first Christmas. This one kind of knocks even my socks off! It was a lot of time consuming work but also the most fun to design and see finished.

The "First" is red Stickles under a layer of Glossy Accents.
It shows better in person!

All Graphic 45 papers, of course. If I could buy up every unused Santa scene page in all the closets across the world, I would. It's perfect.

This baptism page was shipped yesterday!

Thanks for visiting today.

Cheers,
Susan

New Baby Cards!

Hello hello! I'm getting ready to add more cards to the shop and realize it's been yonks since I share here! You poor neglected blog readers. I'm shaking my head at myself.

Perhaps these pretties can make up for it?

Aren't they sweet? Each has a coordinating box, also. I used Graphic 45 "Little Darlings", a definite favorite!

I also have this album in the works:

All of these will end up in the shop soon. I'll also post inside photos here on the bloggity blog to offer inspiration for folks. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Cheers,

Susan

An Eerie Tale Halloween Album (Image Heavy)

Hi folks! I have a wonderful Halloween album to share with you today. I *know* I said I want to move away from albums but I still have so many prepackaged album blanks on hand and entirely too much paper. Wait, did I say that out loud? Goodness! We'll just have to pretend I didn't say that...

Speaking of album blanks, I found a great price on the old Bo Bunny "My Word" cascading albums. Because I always have to justify shipping charges, I bought 5. This is my first one.

It's made using Graphic 45's An Eerie Tale. It took up 99% of a 12x12 pad. I love how this one turned out and can't wait for it to find a new home and life breathed into it with family photos.

There are 7 individual chipboard pages instead of the original 6. I also used the chipboard packaging sheet. It was the right size! The album -- with rings -- is 14" long and 6" wide.

There are 22 single panels, 15 folded panels and 4 tags. There is quite a lot of room for family Halloween fun!
