One of the ladies at church is having a baby and they're giving her a baby shower this afternoon... so I made a little album for her. I don't think it worked out too badly considering that I only had two days notice to make it! Luckily I had a TON of baby supplies left from the last baby album I made so I didn't have to buy anything... the album's 7x8 with a one-inch binding and it worked out really nice.
Karen, This is adorable!! I'm sure the mom-to-be will love it. You did a wonderful job. I'm going to keep some your pages in mind to scrap-lift later. ...just beautiful...

Wow Karen, this is really pretty! BTW, have you decided what you wanted in TLC gifts for the $25 you won? I didn't hear back after my last email.
That is beautiful Karen, you've done such a good job. Did you make the album itself too, or did you have that already? I love the ribbon binding, it looks gorgeous. Thanks for sharing :) luv Cec...xxx
I made it. It wasn't very hard really... I stacked the cardstock sheets (I used eight) and trimmed them all to 7x8 inches. then I carefully pierced a row of guideholes at the binding side and seperated the stack and individually punched the sheets with a little flower punch (I took the 'catcher' off the bottom so I could see exactly where I was putting the holes) And lastly I creased a fold-line an inch in from the side on all the sheets... Then I stacked them up again and bound them up with ribbon. The binding was the hardest bit - I had to do it four times to figure out how to get the bow to be at the middle in the front where it would look pretty! It only took a couple of hours to put the album together.
You did a great job on the baby album..its just too cute!! Love the pretty colors!~
