Summer's Baby Paperbag Album

"Summer's Baby Album"

Good Morning hope your all well and not blown away here in the uk.

This morning i would like to showcase a creation ive been working on for my best friend's daughter.Who had a baby girl earlier this year .I am making this album to pop in with summer's very first christmas Present.
The Album is made out of Brown paperbags /Lunch bags large.I have pressed and sewn down the side for extra protection ,Used my cropodile to make holes across the top,so i can thread the ribbon's through.This Album is going to be opened up from the bottom ribbons along the top for a change.The album once pressed measures 8x8.

I have stuck various baby ribbons along the top of the front page .Altogether there's 12 Pages including front back page ,plus 3 pockets inside .

The designer paper on the front is from Scrapbook village now known as "Simply Crafts"
If im not wrong think it was by Doodlebug.All card is from Stampin up.I have used the stampin up top note to stamp my Tilda image onto.This has been coloured in copics.I choose the image as thought ampt for the front of the album wee baby being hatched /born.Thats what i love about magnolia stamps they are so versitile.

I have added Roses from Wild Orchard Crafts
,along with the white lace.The pink lace is from my craft stash.The pearls are Kaiser craft.
I also punched the pink ferns using the Mcugils punch.

The various Ribbons are from various palces and my crafty stash left over from the last baby album i created.

Ihave added below some more close up photos of the front cover.

The card on the front cover opens up to reveal the details of

Summer's Birth,Date,Weight & Time.

I am entering this creation into the following challenges:

Raise The Bar:Oh Baby

The New Magnolia-licious Challenge:Colour combo Pink &Yellow.
