Hello Baby!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season.  I did and I am so thankful for family.  So how many of you made New Year resolutions?  I didn't, I stop making them about 4 years ago, because I never can keep them.  I'm just thankful to see another year and have such wonderful family and friends.


I am here with Mema's Crafts.  Our sponsor this month is Bluemoon Scrapbooking.  Winners of our January challenge will appreciate a gift certificate to go shopping at our sponsors array of crafting supplies.  Bluemoon is a great store to shop, I love that they make videos when new items are released.  The challenge is Anything Goes (ATG).  Don't you just love when you can do anything you want in a challenge?  I was sent a 6x6 paper pad from Simple Stories called Hello Baby.  A perfect paper pack to make a mini album.  I was so excited when I saw it, I knew right away what I was going to do.  I took a class this summer at my Local Scrapbooking Store from Casandra Dickinson (she does not have a blog).  But she is a master artist at making albums and boxed mini flip albums.  The flip album I made this summer was an 81/4 x 81/4, but since my paper pad was a 6x6, I had to make it smaller. And walah, this is what I came up with.   This album measures 61/2 x 61/2.  There is an inch around the box.  This is going to be a little long so I hope you are ready!



Our January Sponsor!



This is the box flip album.  I popped the word baby up with pop 
dots and cut out a couple of elements from the paper pad and
 popped them up.  The word hello I cut several of them
 out to give them dimension.

This is a picture of how the mini looks like opened up


Another picture of the album opened up.  The three page
 in the middle are different here.


 I have a few tags in a pocket for journaling
 or photos.  The elephants are a Martha Steart punch.
These tags measure 3x4.


I cut the B-A-B-Y out and adhered them on chipboard, and 
popped every other one up.  The lambs are jolee's.
  I added a couple of frames for pictures.  
They measure 3x3.


Added some more tags, these tags are so cute, they
have the months on them, so  you can just add the photo.  


I added this flap with pages under for pictures or journaling
  The flap measures 4x5


Here are the pages.  I stamped the pages.  
The pages measure 4x3/7/8 and the other two are 1/4 smaller.


Here's another flap with pages.


Here I stamp them again.


Added more tags with the months on them.


Second level - right page
Another flap with pages to add photos and journaling.


Second layer - middle page
More tags to added pictures.  


Another flap to added photos and journaling.  I cut the 
"L-O-V-E" out and made a banner.


This is the top flap of the mini.  I added a picture frame with a pocket.
  The frame is 4x5.  The tag can be for a picture and
 journaling.  It measures 3x4.


This is the bottom flap.  Another frame with tag.


This is the back of the book.  I ran out of paper, but found this digi paper
 that matched perfectly.  I used a different pattern on the sides.
