Baby Girl Mini album featuring Papericious Its a Girl Pattern papers

Hello everyone.

How are you all doin? I hope great!!! So without much delay....I would like to show you my new project which is a Baby Girl Mini Album featuring Papericious Its a Girl Pattern paper. I cannot tell you how nice the papers are and I have worked with them before and I did do a lot of projects using this paper pack...Last time I teamed it with pastel pinks and whites...this time I did purples and pinks with greys....such a unique pattern paper pack and it gives you a lot of options to work with it.

Now this one is very similar in size to the earlier album. Its a big album with 8" by 8" as covers and the spine is 4 3/4"....so its a big one for sure. It has 5 very interactive pages with have lots of pockets, flip outs and mats.

 This album has a fair few tags and lots of journalling spots and can hold over 100 pictures on the mats and you can still tuck a few more in the nooks and crannies of this album. This album is divided into 12 sections and I have made specific monthly tags to fit those 12 special months of a baby's first year. You can also use these tags as baby onesie tags as once done you can continue to treat them as regular journalling tags. I have added a little space on the back of these tags to write about baby's monthly information. In my last album, I had made separate Box to hold the tags, but in this album all the tags are placed in the album itself.

I am putting this album up at monthly challenges at

Handmade 50th Birthday Gift Box

Hey everyone

How are you all doing this week....I am back with a another new gift box...Ii have been making a lot of gift boxes lately and I really had some fun making them. Now this gift box is made to celebrate 50th birthday and is made keeping gold, black and white as color scheme. I really hope you guys will like this one...

I am putting this project up at Addicted to stamps challenge - Make your mark (I have used white gel pen to write on tags), Petal Lu  and Allsorts challenge - Lets celebrate.

This box is actually 9 1/4"x 5 1/4" on the outside and 8 1/4"x 4 1/4" on the inside and the thickness is 2". I have kept the embellishments to the minimum as the paper used is very decorative on its own. I have used handmade flowers, sparkle dots and few die cut flourishes to decorate this box.

The supplies used for this project are mentioned below.

 The little mustache is stamped with versamark using a foam stamp from itsybitsy and heat embossed with UTEE(Ultra thick embossing enamel) from ranger on a black cardstock. Then I just fussy cut is with little scissors and mounted it on the numbers using some strong adhesive.

The 3 little tags are handcut by me and the messages are handwritten with white gel pen. Holes were punched with a Kangaroo hole punch and then attached to the box using some white satin ribbon. I also used gold and white satin ribbonds as closure for the box.

 The Birthday Wishes sentiment is from Justrite Grande Handwritten Sentiments clear stamp set. I have heat embossed the sentiment using versamark and Gold embossing powder from Ranger on a black cardstock.

So here is the list of supplies used for the box:

1 Chipboard (Kraftily Konnect)

2 Black handmade paper (Itsybitsy)

3 Gold pearl paper ( A1 craft supply)

4 Gold satin ribbon (Itsybitsy)
