Hey guys
Lately, I have been doing a lot of baby themed project. I made baby mobile for my sister-in-law using washcloths when I was gifting her baby products...... So I wanted to give her in a different style. First I thought to do a bouquet of washcloths arranged like roses....well I did that too a while ago and didn't want to repeat it. Well, My pictures are too good this time as I was in a hurry...but I still would want you all to see them.
Then it came to me....Washcloth mobile.....and it did come out as I imagined. So I would like to share few pics and a small video showing you the mobile. Initially I did for a baby girl and then I thought why not do for a boy as well.....so I will be posting very soon a baby mobile for a boy.
So here there are pics as much as I could click before these beauties left my door to find a new home. Aren't those washcloth bows adorable....so cute!!!!
Supplies:
1 Chipboard 1600gsm

To make the movable shutter, I have sewed the pieces of the strips to one another in such a fashion that they pieces do not get apart completely. All the pieces of the shutter are held together with a homemade brad.....its simple .....just use button with 2 holes and a thick wire. Pass the wire through the holes of the button and its ready to work like a brad. I covered the exposed end of the wires using a glitter flower with pearl on the center.
The shutters are decorated with glitter flowers from Itsybitsy and Pink lace trim also from Itsybitsy. I punched a hole in the center of first shutter and added a pink eyelet to it. I then passed the same pink trip and added 3 wooden beads to it....this helps to add some weight on the shutter and keeps it stay put rather than sliding back.
Finally, I decorate the edges and wheels with thin strips of pink glitter foam. Adds a little interest an color at the same time. The sentiment used is from Mudra stamps and I have heat embossed it using Ranger black embossing powder. Matted it and mounted it using some foam tape.
This gift box has movable shutter and fixed wheels. You can add an handle to it if you want but I haven't added it purposefully to enable easy access to the gifts.
I am adding the youtube video link below to view the complete gift box. I hope you guys will like it.

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:

Hello everyone.
Firstly I would want to wish all of you a very happy new year and I hope you guys find love happiness and peace this year. It has been a while for me since I have done a blog post as there was a lot happening on my personal front. I had been doing projects...just didn't find time to write a post and share them with you all.
So lets begin the new year with a beautiful project for a heaven sent bundle of joy....I have made a mini album for a baby girl....its my first and I am really excited to share with you. Now this one is a big album with 8" by 8" as covers and the spine is 4 3/4"....so its a big one for sure.
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 jounalling tags. I have added a little space on the back of these tags to write about baby;'s monthly routines.
I have used suppies from Itsybitsy, Papericious, Kaisercraft and the mdf diecuts are from Jasmine Siddhiqui from Kraftily konnect. The collection of ribbons and embellishments at Itsybitsy is just outstanding and I really like working with them. The paper pack used is called Its a Girl which is from Papericious and I must say that the collection is really perfect for making such albums.
All in all...I have loads of pictures I want to share with you all...so sit back and enjoy this interactive mini album.
I am putting this album up at Papericious monthly challenge for December.
This moodboard really inspired me to make a Baby Girl album with loads os shades of pinks and purples with hints of greys and white. I have incorporated roses as well as sequins in my project.
For a more detailed walk through of this album, you can visit my youtube channel to see the video. I am putting the link for the same below.
I hope you liked my project and if you do...please leave me some love. Thank you guys and have a nice day.
