I've used a Papermania 'back to bare' mini chipboard album......these are brilliant value...... £2.39......6 pages of thick chipboard......plus the rings.......and they come in a variety of shapes [advert over!!!].
Made it fairly simple......but simple didn't equate to quick!!!!
Made it fairly simple......but simple didn't equate to quick!!!!
I've used an assortment of papers......mainly left over pieces......and, yes, they have been told they're having a girl.....so fingers crossed!!
On the cover there are 2 little charms.......a heart and a pair of tiny feet.......tied onto the ribbon....the rings decorated with ribbons and fibres.
The inside cover has a quote..........first 2 pages are for the guests' names.
All words die cut with a Sizzix alphabet
Then 3 pages to make a list of the presents received..........small or large writing needed depending on the circumstances!!!!!
And the final pages are for photos.
with a decorative coaster on the back cover.
DS isn't really into this sort of thing.....but I'm hoping S will like it.

Congratulations Jacky! Is this your first grandchild? If so, how exciting! If not, congrats still. Although you seem young to be a grandmother.
