Bumper Tri Fold Baby Albums

Hi Guys

I got home from my trip to Glasgow yesterday and although it is a long drive feel pretty rested today which is great.  Have lots to do but thought I should quickly update my blog as I've missed a few days.

I was very fortunate in that my lovely mum in law watched the children and I met up with my friend Gill for dinner, a sleep over and a day of crafting the next day!  I am aware that as a 38 year old the term sleep over sounds funny but thats what the kids always say.  Needless to say there was much chat and catching up but ladies, we were on a mission to get our baby albums completed.  The phrase "I didn't realise we were on a Crafting Boot Camp" was actually uttered more than once by the lovely Gill, haha, so perhaps I was the one on a mission.  It was a great break and we did get our albums done at the end, mine is blue and Gills is pink, aw!

Gills colour combo was Pretty In Pink, So Saffron and Very Vanilla whilst mine was the same except I used Bashful Blue instead of the pink.  So cute and brilliant work from Gill who had never made one before.  Missing her already!

Hope you like it

Tri Fold Album Box

Hi Guys

No picture post today this is just a quick one to let you know that I have posted a youtube video tutorial on my blog for the Tri Fold Album Box.  The measurements are in the information box.

Its half term this week so I need to get organised if I want to get any crafting done as my children have a funny way of taking up all of my time without me even realising it ;o)

Have a great Tuesday

Baby Tri-Fold Album & Box

Hi Stampers

I have been very busy & I have a gorgeous post today to show you.  I've made a tri fold album AND I've made a box to go with it.  The tri fold album is the longer one that folds out and since we did one at Quarterly Training with Michelle Last I have loved them although I've not gotten around to finishing one yet....until today, yay.

When the album was finished I knew I wanted to make a box to put it in.  As its a baby gift it would just be the finishing touch!  I have seen some on other blogs but no measurements to go with them so I set about sorting the measurements and making my box - here is the end result.  Love it!

I've used Very Vanilla satin ribbon as it feels luxurious, love the satin ribbons!

A close up of the name.

The box with the lid off - am so pleased with how this turned out.

The album out of the box.  Lots more ribbon - love it!

Lots of little embellishments.

The full inside.

A little close up of the words inside, aw.
