Baby Boy's First Year Interactive Album

Hello Everyone!! 

Today I am sharing my son's first year album. He is already 3 now but I never got the time to work on the album. I wanted to incorporate a lot of things in the album and make it complete with all the pictures, etc, so all the planning took a lot of time. I have been collecting the papers, embellishments and other stuff for the album since a long time, so that whenever I make it, I have all the things in place.

It took me almost 2 months to complete this album as I worked on it in bits and pieces. 

I got a box for the album and covered it with a pretty wrapping paper. The album will remain safe and secure inside the box.

Baby Girl Album 8x8in

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing an album which I made on order, for a baby girl. The album cover is about 10x10" and the inner pages are 8x8". It is a huge hard bound album with 8 pages and 8 inserts. It can hold about 78 photos of various sizes as listed below:

4x6" - 42

4x3" - 12

3x3" - 13

2x2" - 11

The album has a flap which closes back on the cover, protecting all the inner stuff. I added the baby's name and some frills on the flap. On the spine, there are some charms attached with various ribbons.

The center piece of the cover is a shaker embellishment that I created. It has beautiful sequins and beads inside it. 

The first page has space for adding birth stats of the baby....

The next two pages have space for the very first photo of the baby and photo with mom and dad.

Then we have space for pre-birth events like, pregnancy scan photos and baby shower. The enclosure on the left page can hold many photos as shown in the video below.

These pages have space for adding baby's homecoming pictures and the naming ceremony. The frock has a flap on top for two 4x6 photos and the main front opens up to reveal more space for journaling and photos.

Here, the parents can add pictures of baby's firsts and baby's favorite stuff.

This space can be used to display the family tree and some more pictures from special occasions/festivals celebrated in the baby's first year.

These two pages have accordion pockets to hold pictures of each month of the baby's first year. 

These pages are meant to have the first birthday photos and other details like the guest list and gifts received.

The last page has a multifold space for adding many photos. 

The inside part of the back cover has a pocket to hold a CD or other memorabilia.

Thanks for visiting!

Baby Album

Hello friends. This is another chipboard baby album that I made on order. It is meant to record events for baby's first year. You can see my other albums here.

I have used K & Co. paper stack for the album and made my own embellishments with glitter foam sheets. I have chosen all bright papers from the stack and made co-ordinating embellies to go with it. I have used lots of sequins to the album pages for a bit more bling.

I colored that pink plastic safety pin to green with my nail polish :)

 Do you see the watermelon slice there? And the glitter flowers and gift box. Also take a note of those tiny little footprints.

Aquick round up of all the glitter embellishments that I made for the album.

 Sorry the pictures are not that great as I was in a hurry to pack it and send.

Chipboard Baby Album

Hello friends. This is a chipboard baby album that I made on order some time back. It is meant to record events for baby's first year.

Pages 1 and 2

Page1: To note the birth stats of the bay

Page 2: To stick the very first picture of the baby

Pages 3 and 4

Page 3: It is a folded card to stick pictures of the baby along with pictures of mom and dad on both sides.

Page 4: It is an insert to stick picture of the baby with the full family.

 Page 3: This is how the folded card opens.

Page 5 and 6

Both these pages have pockets to store 2 inserts each. These pages are dedicated to save baby's firsts, like baby's first crawl, first tooth, first solid food, etc.

Page 7 and 8

Both these pages have pockets to store 2 inserts each. These pages are dedicated to save baby's favourites, like fav dress, fav toy, fav song, etc.

Did you guys notice these cute critters? They are stamps and I have stamped them on colorful PPs and then fussy cut.

Pages 9 and 10

Page 9: This is again a folded tie-up card to record baby's growth years.
Page 10: This page is created to store memories related to baby's first birthday.

Page 9: This is how the tie-up card opens. It has a pocket with lots of tags to write notes. For the right side I made an accordian fold where the parents can stick pictures of baby and write their messages on. I have not stuck it so that it is easy to stick pics, and later on it can be attached to the card base.

Page 10: This open up card is meant for details of the first birthday along with pictures.

This is my first ever baby album, and it has gone all the way to US. I hope the new parents love it :)
