I’m working on a baby shower gift using Frances’ Beginner’s Mini Album tutorial. This is the album I always make for a quick baby gift. It’s super easy to follow directions make it my go-to every time for this kind of gift…however, the mom is decorating her baby boy’s nursery in baby safari animals. I didn’t have a paper collection that fit that, soooo, I had to wing it. I used Mintay’s Playtime paper collection to use the patterns out of, and then ran to Joann’s for some solids, along with some Stampin’Up solids I had in my stash. I’m hoping it will come together once I add the animals, which I downloaded and will now need to print and cut on my Cricut. Playtime has a circus theme, so I really didn’t have a lot to work with. There’s a lot of repetition, but it will just have to work. I’ll post additional photos when it’s completed.

Francės Long, I’ll definitely share the baby book. I can’t ever do anything the easy way and pick out and use a paper collection, lol. The new mama is using baby safari animals in the baby’s room and I didn’t have anything like that on hand, soooo, I’m using Mintay’s Playtime paper pack, a few Stampin’Up solids, some papers from Joann’s, and watercolor diecut safari babies from Etsy. Oh why, tell me why, do I do this to myself šŸ˜–šŸ˜‚

My fingernails are long so I can never remove the backing with them šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø. I either use my scissors, or my Tim Holtz pokey tool, lol.

Francės Long, I’ve been thinking about this question for a few days. I’m not sure there’s a better size than 5x7’s or 4x6’s for me personally. Those are my two favorite sizes to add to my albums. I do like wallet sizes too.

It might be fun to do an all 4x4 album, though. This would be really easy to accomplish using 4x6 photos by just cutting off 2ā€. Then you could do 2x2’s too. Such a cute little album 🄰
