Its A Boy Mini Album | Scrapbook | Carta Bella Rock A Bye Baby Boy Collection

Hello Guys

Welcome back to my blog...and today I have a new Mini album/ Scrapbook for you all. I am breaking my pattern and after a while I have made an album for a Baby boy....this was super fun to make. This album is 8 1/4" x 81/4" in size and the spine is 2 3/4" and holds 5 interactive pages. In all this album can hold 75 plus pictures and has many jouranalling tags and spots. Since this album was made on commission, the name of the child is added on the cover along with his birth date.

I have used Papericious Color Conception paper pack and Carta Bella Rock a Bye Baby boy collection pack along with plain cardstock to build this album. A variety of picture sizes can be used right from 3" by 4" to 5" by 7" and I have also added tags on the mats for accurate picture placement. This album also features a couple of pop up elements while make it more interesting....for me the family tree is the deal sealer.

The front of this album is decorated with beautiful paper layering and chipboard embellishments which I have gold heat embossed. I have never made this kind of a cover and to be honest its one of my fav as it is easy to handle and doesn't add much bulk to the album. I have used ribbon as the closure for the album which forms a fun bow. I kept the spine and the back simple so that it doesn't hinder the album when opened.

I have used chipboard elements,stickers and ephemera from the Carta Bella Rock a Bye baby collection along with Papericious Ohh Baby theme chippis and enamel dots. So the album is not girly but is cute at the same time.

 Here is a video walk through of this album...hope you guys enjoy it.

1. Mini albums Makers Challenge - August Challenge
2. Double D Challenge - The moon and The stars- My album has moon as well as stars included on many pages.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - Mini album/ Scrapbook for Baby Boy

Hello all you beautiful people

Its raining here in Mumbai and the climate is really lazy with all the dark clouds and cool breeze…which make it tough to complete my work…… But it’s a good break from all the summer heat and sweat.  I have a new mini album to share with you guys whose cover is inspired by all the rain and sun….So excited to share this with you all today.

I have a 8” by 8” mini album with 4 ¾” spine with 5 interactive pages (12 sides including inside covers).  This is a 1^st year baby album with tons of picture space and 12 onesie tags. I have used Carta Bella Rock- a-Bye baby boy paper pack, chipboard elements and ephemeras and Papericious Color Conception paper pack. The colorful cardstock is from ItsyBitsy. Lot of different elements are used to make this album which are chipboard elements,  clear sparkle powders, ribbons and laces, magnets, brads, doilies, etc. The album is built using 1200gsm chipboard and 220gsm Iris cardstock from A1 craft. I did 12 onesie tags which can also be used as journaling tags to write monthly information. These tags are placed in a separate box

Tons of details and elements are added to make this album and its really difficult to list it all but the Supplies used are from:-
