Mini album Baby Girl | Inspiration

 

Hello crafty friends! I'm so happy to share with you this Mini Album that hopefully will inspire you to create something similar. I'm so pleased with the beauty of this project, the flowers on the cover are just stunning! Of course Fantasy dies and chipies are the best choice always to embellish any project! This album is for the first year of a baby girl, so I thought Once Upon a Springtime paper collection was perfect, because Anna is already 1 year old. To colour the flowers I used Lindy's Sprays which match so beautifully. Please check out bellow all the dies and chipies that I worked with for this project.

Hi crafty friends!

 I made this beautiful album by request from Maryland USA, and I'm really honored with it because it was designed to keep my client's mom's loving memories, dear Janet I'm truly thankful and I enjoyed so much designing the album and imaging your mom!. It holds 80+ 4"x6" and 5"x7" pics, and the requirement was pastel colors, and space for 80+ pictures, and cards to write. To complete this album I used pastel papers from Graphic 45 paper collections:

Fairie Wings,

Once upon a springtime,

Gilded Lily,

Sweet Sentiments,

Secret Garden.

It's wonderful to mix and match 5 paper collections in one project!

This album traveled lots of miles from México to the USA! I hope you like it as much as I do and get inspired to create!
