Nipped into the works today and they had a lilac baby scrapbook for £5.99 with 10 pages and various paper and about 300 stickers. Just looked at it again and it's 12 x 12 and has spine extenders

Its this one. Wish I'd bought another one now

This is a little album I've put together for my OH for his birthday, no photos included just quotes about being a dad...

































I used a chipboard album, papers and chipboard stickers from Basic Grey. I printed all the quotes in different fonts and tore them off the paper and used a brown ink pad to 'age' the paper. I'm really pleased with it, hope you like it too

Aplogies for the number of pics, wanted to show you the whole thing

rainmac - that;s really beautiful...................think I'd like to do one of them for my two boys - mum/son type quotes (if you don;t mind me pinching the idea) Where did you get the chipboard album from ? I've never used one of those before.

Rainmac - that's gorgeous - are they the boxer papers they look fab? I haven't used mine yet.

rainmac

Yep melissa, all the papers are Basic Grey Boxer papers, all the chipboard is Boxer too as are the alphabet stickers on the front. I used cardstock ribbon stickers that were from the Sugared range (colours went quite well together). The fibres tied to the metal book rings are Basic Grey, found them on ebay for £1.50 delivered, lollipop range I think?

mary, I got the chipboard album in the sale here... http://www.docrafts.co.uk/asp/products/?p=761&brand=0&b2c=1. I would never have paid £5 for it but £2 was ok. Delivery is expensive at about £4 though (not too bad if you order other things at the same time which is what melissa and I did :rolleyes:).

I'm going to make another one for my mum for Mother's Day.

Rainmac That is gorgeous, Can I ask where you got the chipboard album from?
Minimakka that is sooooo sweet!
I wish I had more hours in the day there is so much I want to do! Well I have to say reading and seeing all these things have really cheered me up, I'm full of flu and feeling very sorry for myself!
