Perhaps you remember the photo album I made for my niece, Ensley Grace last year.
Well, 2011 saw the addition of more little babies into our extended family. It was only fair that they get their very own memory books, too!
Today's post is a showcase of the baby photo albums I've made this year.

My newest nephew, Ethan Craig, was born on August 3. Let me tell you, boyish fabric is hard to find!! Even the prints that are blues and greens are usually paisleys or florals. Then there's camouflage and trucks, but there's not really any fabrics in between the two extremes. That said, I was able to find a geometric patterned one for Ethan's album.
I just love these circular letters! They worked so well with this fabric, too!
Despite the fact that this album is for a boy, I couldn't resist adding a little bling to the spine. :)
Black ribbon ties hold the memories inside.

Niece Madilyn Rose arrived on October 21st...the first girl in a household of three older brothers! As you can imagine, her mommy was excited to finally have a baby to dress in frilly, girly PINK things!
Her book was ultra-girly as well. Lots of pinks...the letter brads, the tie ribbons, and the rhinestones!
The inside pages were a fun orange-sherbet color. I LOVE how this turned out with the outside pattern. This book may be one of my favorite combos that I've done. In fact, I liked the cover fabric so much I bought extra yardage so I can use it again in future projects.

In addition to the books I made for our family members, I was also hired to design books for other people's loved ones.
This gender-neutral jungle book was created for a grandma to house all her photos of her grandkids.
The inside paste pages were chocolate brown, and each page held 4x6 photos, 2-up.
The spine was made of reinforced Davy board wrapped in leafy cardstock. The two patterns complemented each other perfectly!
Ahh, the memories that will be contained in these pages. Makes my heart smile just thinking about it.
Photo albums are among my most prized possessions. I treasure the memories they contain and I would love to make a one-of-a-kind album for someone special in your life! Email me for more details.
