SPECIAL DELIVERY BABY BOY FIRST YEAR ALBUM | with Kathy

We are at that point when there's lots of new babies entering our lives... nieces & nephews, friends' children, my younger cousins are all having babies.  I'm so excited... nothing better than cuddling and loving a new baby... and then giving him/her back before they fuss!!!  It has also kept me busy in the craft room... I love giving something special to the new parents.  I made this first year album for my nephew's new little guy using the Special Delivery Collection.  

I used this file for the cover of the album.  I added a "hidden binding" to hold 12 pages.  That left me enough space to document the baby's arrival through the first birthday.  I then set to decorating pages for each month of the first year.

 

I love the cut apart sheet with the series of lists.  The It's a Boy section was perfect for my first pages.  And how cute is that little stork??

I created little notes using this file for each month to document baby's favorites, milestones, what's new and outings and activities.  I also added a space to document how the baby is growing... height and weight.  These were all done using the print & cut feature of my Silhouette. Each set of pages has a little flag with the month using the My Type Alphas.  All that was left was the fun part... using the Special Delivery Odds & Ends and Chit Chat pieces to decorate each set of pages.  Take a peek...

The last pages of the book celebrate baby's first birthday!  I added a few Odds & Ends from the Party Time Collection.  I love how the 2 collections coordinate seamlessly!

I can't wait to meet my new great-nephew (we always knew I was a Great-Aunt, this just solidifies it :)) I also can't wait for them to fill this book with lots of adorable photos!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

SWEET BABY BOY MINI ALBUM | with Shellye

 What happens when you take a couple of the shaped card bases and your favorite Doodlebug Designs' collections? A fun and unique mini album!   

Today we're focusing on some ways to incorporate the Confetti Sprinkles and new Sunshine Alpha Stickers, along with the Special Delivery Collection, in embellishing this cover and album!

I started with two of the brown card bases from the Cards & Envelopes-Special Delivery: 4.75 X 4.75 with the window opening and the 4.5 X 4.5 file folder shape.  

The larger card was used to create the pocket cover for the mini album.  I modified the card by scoring two sections.  Placing the card onto a scoreboard, I scored at 4.25"; flipped it 180 degrees and scored again at 4.25".  From a strip of paper I cut two 4"X1" strips.  The strips were scored at 1/2" and 3/4" and glue inside of the card as shown below:

Next, I cut a 3.5X3.5 square of patterned paper and attached it behind the opening of the card.  I chose a print with scattered dots and then highlighted them with various sized dots from the Confetti Sprinkles!

When adding the "Our Boy" I first used three layers of the Bon Bon colored letters and stacked them.  I followed the three layers with a single Lily White letter and slightly off-set them.  I love the 3D, shadowed-look that it gives!  A few of the heart shapes from the Confetti Sprinkles were also used.

For the little album inside, I simply used the file folder card as the cover to strips of folded patterned paper.  I attached one of the Sunshine heart stickers and baby blue star sprinkle to the tab and added a 3X4 card to the front.  The sun on the card was accented with a Doodle Pop sun!

With the various sized dots found on the Confetti Sprinkle sheet, you can add little cheeks or big cheeks! 

Here I used one of the "X" Sunshine stickers to mimic a hand-stitched accent.

    

The patterned papers were cut into 8.25"X3.5" strips, folded in the middle and then sandwiched together.  I used white elastic cording to hold the pages in place and then wrapped it around the file folder card.

Please tune in to my YouTube Channel where I will have a tutorial of a similar project!

Hi Everyone!  It's Traci here to share a few cards I created using the darling new Doodlebug Snips and Snails cut files (available in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and the Silhouette Online Design Store).   I used lots of different 6x6 paper patterns from the new gingham petite prints and swiss dots, and a few older collections from my stash.  

For the car, I duplicated and vertically flipped the base car image, and then welded the two pieces together to create a card. Here is a list of files that I used for my cards: Baby Boy title Car Elephant Stars Giraffe Sailboat Thanks for stopping by today!
