Baby Card & Present using Bundle of Love from Stampin Up

I have a treat for you today, lots of photo's of the cutest project for the cutest little boy.  One of my dear friends and a fellow demonstrator has recently had a little baby boy.  Now I am ridiculously excited and wish I lived closer so that I could give him a cuddle but he made a rather early appearance and is having a stint in special care.  So I could not wait to make a little something for him and think I may have got rather carried away……..

The rabbit is so soft and I hope he finds a place into Matthew's cot.  I made Matthew a shutter album which I thought would be perfect for recording some important facts about his birth as well as some photo's.  I first saw an album like this here on the super talented blog by Caroline Skinner.  I copmpletely fell in love with the concept and Caroline has made life so much simpler by offering a template for sale.  Thank you Caroline for the inspiration.

I could not resist making a tag for Mr Bunny and co-ordinating it with the album using some 1" striped grosgrain ribbon.  I love how it turned out.

The pearls and the button are perfect together……..

This is a view of the shutter album slightly open – can you feel the drama and suspence??

And here it is open a little more {he, he the suspence is building…..}

this was so hard to photograph as its big once it is opened out!

And this is the opposing side. I hope the wait was worth it!!!!  If you are coming along to my retreat in April I will be teaching a class and showing you how to make one of these shutter albums using the Elegant Soiree designer series paper.

And here is the card I made using the Bundle of Love stamp set and the Nursery Suite Quick Accents. So off to the Post Office I go with a parcel.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend, hurry home Matthew x
