Carta Bella Rock-A-Bye Baby Girl Mini Album

Carta Bella Rock-A-Bye Baby Mini Album

I finished the second baby album I've been working on for my supervisor at work. This one has been created using Carta Bella's Rock-A-Bye Baby Girl collection. Now I can take this book and the baby book I created here so that she can choose which one she likes best. 

I love how the cover turned out! I do like the colors in this collection. Once I started working on the book I was having a bit of a struggle because I didn't think there were enough patterns in this collection. On the backs of some of the patterns there were large cut-a-parts. I went out and matched some solid colors to the collection knowing that I would have to use more solid colors than I normally do when making a book. The further along I got I actually started really loving how it was coming together. I think this one might be a close favorite of mine. 

For the flowers on the cover I shopped my own stash! It's a good think I pick things up when I see them on sale not knowing what they will be used for!

I kept the back and the spine simple.

I did add a waterfall in the front inside cover. I add waterfalls to all my books. To me it's worth it for the extra amount of photos that can be added.

There are six pockets with a mat for each one. I just added patterned paper to one side.

This waterfall has three pages.

I used some of the chipboard elements and stickers to embellish these pages.

The page has two flaps that open.

I left the back of the flaps black.

I added a pocket that holds a trip-fold booklet. I cut down one of the cut-a-parts for the front of the pocket.

One page has a belly band that holds two mats and one page has two flaps.
