I had the pleasure to create four mini albums for these adorable kids first birthdays. The albums are 4×4 and packed with pictures and embellishments. I used decorations from the party to create some of the embellishments. I used the balloons and napkins to wrap around chipboard to make banners. The fringe from the table clothes was used to embellish photos. I cut apart the plates to use the 1′s and borders to embellish the pages. The shiny fringe from the birthday hats was added among the ribbons on the rings binding the album.
There are two girl and two boy albums and I used similar layouts with varying colors to complete the albums.
These banners were covered with napkins and balloons from the party and embellished with baker’s twine, stickers and jewels.
A variety of ribbons and fibers were used on the binder rings to add texture to the albums. An acrylic tag was embellished with “First Birthday” using a gelly roll pen and jewels.
The strips with dots were cut from the plates, the fringe from the table cloth and buttons/jewels with added to further embellish the pages.
These were the general payouts of the pages. Each had a block matted with a solid color. A white gelly roll pen was used to dot-dash around the border of each page. All the photos were matted in white and then a variety of embellishments were added to complete the pages.
Baker’s twine was used to wrap around some of the pages as embellishment. Also there are some more pictures of buttons with jewels that were used. Buttons are perfect to add pops of color to kids albums.
If you are interested in a similar styled album or any other custom album you contact me to start the process. I also have a variety of mini albums that are already completed and ready to be purchased at my Etsy Shop.
