Anyway, now he's a little older he's a bit more predictable so I have managed to fit in a little work on my projects. I have started a scrapbook to document the first year of his life and I've finally finished the front cover:
 |
| I got this American Crafts Blue Boy Hands Single Paper Sheet from Hobbycraft for 90p for the background. |
 |
| I added a little 'washing line' tied to some buttons. I just cut out the shapes from the gorgeous First Edition - It's a Boy papers and added some finishing touches such as the pockets on the trousers and the bow on the vest. I already had the little pegs from my wedding scrapbook. |
 |
| I cut out what is intended to be used as a tag from the First Edition - It's a Boy papers and ran with the saying 'cute as a button' by adding several buttons around it and adding one on top of the tag too. I got these blue buttons from Hobbycraft for £1. It doesn't say how many are in a pack and I haven't counted. Apparently it's 60g of buttons and it looks like there are at least 70 in a pack. I think it was great value and all the buttons are different designs and sizes. |
 |
| I was worried about the bow untying and my husband suggested sticking down the ends too. Stupidly I used glue and it's shown through so I now need to cover those bits up! |
I just need to get some photos printed and then I can get started on the inside. I got the Snapfish app on my phone which allows me to print 50 photos for free every month (you just pay £1.99 p&p) for a year which I think is brilliant and will definitely come in handy.
As always, comments and suggestions are welcome!
