Just Kickin It Shoe for Jaxson

Today I am sharing a scrapbook project that I made for my new Great Nephew Jaxson who was born on the 4th of July!

This is a Paper Phenomenon Kit Club project. (find it Here)  It is a converse shoe made of chipboard with a tag album inside.  There are 12 tags so I thought it would be fun to use for monthly photos and some journaling as Jaxson grows during his first year.

I used paper from Carta Bella called Baby Mine by Carina Gardner.  It's for baby boys and is really adorable.  The white paper is Bazzill White.  I also added some cute charms, a bicycle, baby feet, blocks & a love tag, to the ring that holds all of the tags together.  The charms hang at the back of the shoe...

Enjoy...

A Year in Review - Baby Books

Happy Monday to all!

It's been quite a while since I posted something on my blog.  I was very busy decorating, planning and hosting dinners for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Then my husband and I took a two week trip to Hawaii for our 30th Anniversary in November and we also spent a week at my daughters after Christmas.  I didn't have time to finish any projects until now.

I used a Paper Phenomenon kit called "A Year in Review-Baby".  I made this for my brother and his wife who recently welcomed a beautiful baby girl to their family in January.  The papers are from a Kaisercraft paper line called "Bundle of Joy - Girl", and I used lots of chipboard and Bazzill cardstock "Cream Puff".  I really love how it turned out!  It consists of three blocks sitting on top of a drawer.  Inside each block is a pull out cube containing two double album holders, which then contain a total of 4 mini albums.  All together the three cubes hold 12 mini albums, one for each month of the baby's first year.  The albums are pretty tiny but they are meant to just hold a few photos so you can go back and see just how the baby changed each week or so.  There is a good sized drawer under the cubes which will be great for holding little mementos like hospital bracelets, hair bows, maybe a curl from baby's first haircut, that kind of stuff.

I so love this project...it was so fun to make!

Here it is...I put little "Lily's" name on the top of the first cube.

Cube pulled out - 2 sections which holds a total of 4 mini albums

Here is one of the two sections removed from the cube

This is that same section now opened - it holds two of the mini albums one on each side

These are the two mini albums

This is one of the mini albums opened - it has three pages and a pocket at the edge of each page
that can be used for more photos or maybe a card

Lily's name at the top of the first cube!  I love the little lamb sticker too!
