Shhhhhh! I'm gonna let you in on a secret...
My niece's Christmas gift!Although she won't actually be here untill mid January so I supose I'm not in any real danger of you letting her in on what she's getting.
I made a mini word book for her family to archive all those special first baby moments for her and I hope she enjoys it for years to come.
Let's start the tour!
Kanani
Pages 1&2
Page 1 has Kanani's full Hawaiian name printed vertically and covered in clear embossing.
The little insert in the middle says family on one side and love on the other.
Page 2 has a pocket and a tag. The tag has room for journaling on the front and a small corner pocket on the back for a photo or keepsake
(There's a lot of subtle little embellishments here that my camera just doesn't pick up)
Pages 3 & 4
On this page a 4x4 photo will fit just right - sliding underneath the word baby and the corner tab on the right.
I ended up making a couple of those elephants since he came out so cute. Don't be surprised if you see more of those on future projects.
Pages 5 & 6
"You and Me"
Page 5 has a journaling tag that slips into a pocket behind the Mama bird.
Page 6 has space for a 4x4 photo that slips behind the flower on the left and underneath the chiffon ribbon and the word "me"
Pages 7, 7.5, & 8
Page 7 has space for a 4x6 photo that slips underneath the circular tag that is hinged with a brad.
The poem reads "Little girls bring such delight with hearts so warm and smiles so bright." -Unknown Author
Page 7.5 is a butterfly that opens up for journaling or for attaching keepsakes
Page 8 opens up so that you have room for two 4x6 photos
Page 9
Remember that Mama bird? Well here is her nest, ready to embelish the corner of a 4x6 photo.
The photo mat is actually a pocket the holds a tag, ready for another photo on one side, and journaling on the other.
Page 10
Can hold 4 more photos - one on the front that slips underneath the blue swirl and three more on the tags from the double pocket.
Back cover
Paper by K&Company - Gypsy Baby colection
Book designed on Pazzles Inspiration Studio Software
All lettering was done with the PI as well.
Lots of embossing powder, Pearl Ex, Glossy Accents, and Distress Ink were used too.
