Baby Album

I finally finished decorating the baby album to go in the altered cigar box that I made as a baby shower gift.  Putting the decorations on is VERY stressful!  I would have liked to add a few more butterflies, but can you believe that I don't own a butterfly punch or die cut, and it was too late to borrow one!?  I didn't seem to have a lot of embellishments that matched the papers and colors but I think this will do...

The top flap lifts up to reveal a place for a photo or journaling.
There is a pull-out panel for another photo or more journaling.

The papers that I used are from the Little Darlings pack from Graphic 45.  They are so pretty!!  I also used several of the Little Darlings chipboard tags, but most of the pictures are cut from the papers.
The baby shower is tomorrow.  I'll let you know if the new mom likes her box and album!  I sure hope she does!!!

  1. I can't imagine that she wouldn't love this. It came out so beautiful. Great job. I was wondering if those were the chipboard tags. They are perfect.
