Mini Album for Baby Knox

Hello everyone and welcome to Nonna's Craft Corner.
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!  I've spent a lot of time in my craft corner this weekend, so, it's been a good one for me!  I've been working on a mini album for a special little boy that will be joining his sweet family in just a few weeks.  I'm thinking I may have gone a little over-the-top on this one, but his Mommy likes over-the-top, so it's ok!  I'll be giving this to Knox's Mommy tonight, and I so hope she loves it!

This is the cover with Knox's monogram....


* I started with a plain, chipboard mini that I picked up at Micheal's.
* Patterned paper is from the "Baby Boy" paper stack by "Me & My Big Ideas"
* Everything is inked up with "Vintage Photo" ink by Ranger
*I added white ribbon and white pom poms to one edge
* I used Spellbinders die "Scalloped Squares" for the mat
*Cricut cartridge "Alphalicious" for the monogram

(click on any photo to enlarge)

For these pages, I used the following:
* "Cappuccino" twine from "The Twinery"
*Cricut cartridge "New Arrival"
*"Pink By Design" stamp set "Baby Love"
*"Peachy Keen" stamp set "Boy Mates"

(I love this sweet little stork and baby!)

*The sailboat is from "New Arrival"
*Banner is from "Birthday Bash"
* I added lots of white ric-rac and ink to this page
*The second page is fan-folded booklet to hold 4 mini photos. Here it is all opened up....

*Quick page for 2 larger photos
*Diaper pins are from "New Arrival"


And the back cover!
*Spellbinders die for mat
*Outfit is from Cricut cartridge "Baby Steps"
*Sentiment is from "Pink By Design"
*Lots of brown and white tulle tied to the rings!

And, here's the tag I put together for the gift bag...


*Spellbinders - "Lacey Ovals"
*Cricut cartridge "New Arrival"
*Pink By Design sentiment

Ok...all put together and wrapped up!  It's almost time for me to head to the baby shower - nothing like "last minute"!  Actually, I have been working on this for several days, just getting down to the wire on finishing up!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Until next time,
