Li'l N's Birthday album


This is one MEGA project I was (and still continue to.. for the stamping and embellishments) working on for weeks together.. Each page is a project in itself and I used the opportunity to learn quite a few techniques.. I have finished some of the pages.. here's the stack:


And a sample of the insides:


(The decoration at  home was entirely done by me and balloons were blown by my father-in-law.. will add more pics of it later)

For the cover page, I have painted the background with acrylics on canvas, used some homemade texture paste and hand-cut stencil for the squares.. painted on it with pearl metallic acrylics (matching his outfit) and used wooden store-bought alphabet. The '1' is handcut and painted, again to match his outfit that day..  :-)

Will keep uploading pics now and then as I keep completing the album...

    1. He he.. i understand :-) Nowadays we take so many pics of our little ones that we are spoilt for choice when it comes to printing them out.. and no, this is only his Birthday album.. I have not started with the other pics.. and given the amount of time it requires, I may not start anytime soon ;-).. may just do a couple of layouts to give to his grandparents!
