Happy Wednesday my friends! Cherry here to share a sweet baby album made for RRR. Every time I do a mini album I always wonder why I don't do more of them because I enjoy doing them so much! They do take longer than some altered projects or cards but I always feel such a sense of accomplishment when done. I started with a nice sturdy chipboard base that I painted cream and distressed. I than picked my papers and alternated them every other page mixing and matching. I stuck to around 4-5 patterns and repeated them for continuity. I started by embellishing the front page with my goodies. I added sweet details like the little stars, buttons, and mini diecuts for interest. The inside I heavily embellished each page to the right keeping my baby theme. The left side pages I added vellum envelopes to tuck memories and lockets of baby's hair. Or any keepsake Mama might want to tuck away. There is also room for pictures of the wee one. I added Carolina white crochet lace at the bottom of each page. Once done I assembled my pages together and it was ready for the cherry on the top! All the sassy ribbons that I tied onto the rings. This is the fun part I think. I love tying on the ribbons and adding little trinkets and sentiments in between. I added pink safety pins with stacked buttons, baby blocks, little hearts, and a flash card. I used pink grosgrain in circus dots,pink chevron grosgrain,satin with scalloped edge in pink, and Diamond satin in pearl pink. This is a great way to use up shorter snippets of ribbons. Well that is about it. Except I had to share my buddy Bailey wearing my work. He tries to help out ...more like steal my goodies. How can I say no to a face like that though! Hope you enjoy! Have a wonderful day and rest of your week. hugs, cherry
