baby album for a baby boy

we love handmade! as if that wasn't clear from this blog, here's one more baby album for a cute little guy. a loving aunt wanted to gift her nephew something adorable that the mom could use to save her memories of the little one. 

the album is made using lots of colors. now i know its not a written rule that anything related to kids has to be colorful, but for this particular item we were asked to include as many colors as possible. personally i too am a fan of colors and we had a blast making this album.

love knows no boundaries and we did realize this while making this cutest ever explosion box card for a friends fiance. and this box made it all the way to Sydney, Australia! 

accompanying the box was a quilled card which the pretty lady used to express her birthday message.

vanity box for a favorite aunt!

my last sunday at home..! will be moving out to another city for a job next month. so i wanted to make most of this opportunity and work on a box for my aunt who lives there. she is one of the best people in my life and i worked on this project with a lot of love and effort. hope she likes it!

starting with the box, which btw my totally adorable dad made for me. i covered it with paper to provide for a base to work upon and gave added strength to the box.

now moving on the outside. i wanted to make this into a flowery one (she loves flowers!). so i covered it up with a silk cloth in a very light beige color, covering it nicely from all sides.
