Baby Book #2 - finished

[wiseheart]

Save for small decorative embellishments that I might or might not add later. But the actual work is done.

Here are pages 4 and 5. Just some pockets and tags/photo mats. Nothing really complicated.



Pages 6 and 7 also mirror each other, with the exception of the tags. For those I used two bookmarks from the ones we regularly get from the various charities we support as thank-you gifts. I love how the contrasting sides of the same scrapbook paper sheet come to effect on this page (and on the next one).



And finally page 8, the last one. As you can see, I used the rests of the same sheet to decorate this one, plus a tiny strip of self-adhesive lace. I think it turned out nicely enough.



I must admit that I didn't do much else today. I had to delete a lot of photos from my iPad mini because I didn't have more storage space to make new ones, and that took hours. The capricious little device is also having a phase where it doesn't like downloading my mail and even less sending any mail. Perhaps I'll have to restart it or whatnot. It's very annoying, as I usually don't switch on my main PC until late afternoon, like now.

It's very cute.
I love the snowflake paper.

It's one of the Stamperia double-sided sheets, with the little blue hearts on the other side. The young mother asked the book to be "not that baby blue", so I thought this greyish hue would work.

What fun! You do so much in a day. It would have taken me a week to do that!

To be honest, the really hard work was making the page bases, and those I've made well in advance. And the binding system. The rest was just decorating, although I managed to cut off too much from one of the corner pockets - again! Fortunately, this was a pattern where I could just patch it up, as I had a white base to all pockets.

I love seeing your wee books.

Thank you. I've just bought some paper for the next one. That one will be somewhat larger, though, and a great deal more elaborate. :)

I'm sure you are way too kind, but thank you nonetheless. :)
