Baby Pocket memory album by Lori

Baby Pocket memory album

featuring Graphic 45 Little Darlings

Graphic 45 has a fantastic vintage baby line that was perfect for this memory box and album. This is perfect for any new mom that wants to document every special memory and record all your special feelings too!

1. Gather your supplies.... Paper, sewing machine, adhesive, graphic 45 sticker embellishments, O ring, ribbon, hole punch, and petaloo flowers.

2. Cut your paper to 4.5 X 12 inches. You will need 2 papers this size for each page, so cut 2 papers for each page you want in your album. 5 pages = 10 4.5 x 12 sheets.

3. Score each page at 1 and 4.5 inches. Fold it up and the 1 inch down to create the pocket.

4. Put 2 of these folded pages back to back and sew around it, leaving the top open. You are creating a pocket on each page and a pocket in between the two pages.

5. When you have all of your pages sewn together, line them up and punch a hole in the top left side. Hold them all together with an O ring.
6. Using a circle punch, punch 1/2 a circle in the top to pull the journaling tag in and out from in between the pages. Add some ribbon.
7. Embellish to your hearts content! I added a small scrap on the pocket, with some of the amazing Graphic 45 stickers. You can add pictures, journaling and special memories.

Baby Memory Box by Lori using Graphic 45 Little Darlings

Featuring Darice cigar box, Graphic 45 Little Darlings

Few moments are as precious as the arrival of a new baby. This project is a perfect way to make sure you keep and preserve every precious memory.

1. Remove the hardware from the box and paint.

2. Sand the edges (optional)
3. Cut paper to the size you want to cover and modge podge to the box. On the bottom I used the Graphic 45 Little darlings cherished paper and on top I used Graphic 45 Little Darlings Litte Treasures paper. Make sure to poke holes in the paper where the hinge holes are so you can easily put the hardware back on. I like to use a tooth pick to leave a tiny hole.

4. Put your hardware back on.
5. Cut paper to fit the top. I used one large and a smaller pices to layer on top.

6. Add stickers, flowers to accentuate your top.
7. Create a tag that you can put the babies name and information on. Use pop dots to lift it off the top slightly. Tie a cue ribbon around it.

What’s inside? Stay tuned and on my next blog post I will show you a great way to preserve all your sweet memories.
