A special friend is having a baby and I thought I'd make her a mini book. There is plenty of space for journaling and/or photos, either for during the pregnancy or after.
Beware this is a photo heavy post......

| Clever kind of pocket hotding three tags, two at the side and one on top. Design by Laura Denison of "Following the Paper |Trail" |
I used mainly Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden collection, which sadly seems to be out of print. I think it is one of the most beautiful collections out. If anyone reading this knows where to get it still, please let me know! Sadly I ran out someway through putting the mini together so I had to add other bits that matched more or less here and there.
What a totally beautiful project, so lovingly crafted for your friend and such a thoughtful idea. I agree Butterfly garden is a beautiful paper collection. xx

ReplyDeleteSuperfantastic album :) I love those papers too!!! If you didn't find them, try E-bay or just google the name of the stack, and you'll get shops that still carries them :) If you can't find them, please let me know and I'll see if there's a seller here in norway which still has them, and order some for you :) take care,
