Paparazzi Mom Paper Crafts: album

My mom had her 50th birthday on October 3. My Dad, my sisters and I planned a party for her. I wanted her to have a nice guestbook, but since I am a scrapbooker it of course needed to be a photo guestbook. Rather then just having regular portraits of the guests I thought we could get some wigs of the 60/70's more popular hair styles to spice up the pictures.
I got an 8x8 album from Micheals for the guestbook. For paper I used the boom-di-ada creative basics paper and magic moments paper pack. The featured colours are hollyhock, sweetleaf, colonial white, indian corn blue and cocoa. Sorry for the picture quality, I had a terrible time with the lighting.

The front cover.

The first page.

Here's me :)

Here's my boys.

The last page.

Here is the baby album I made for my sister, Amy to give to her at her baby shower back in April. She had my nephew Orion (pronounced Or - Ryan like the constellation) on March 5th, 2009. I made this album from the Emporium level 2 paper pack, Emporium Creative Basics paper and lots of extra co-ordinating cardstock. This is the basic order of the album, although I may have confused the order on a few, but you get the basic idea. Before I gave it to my sister I forgot to photograph the very last page, so it is not included here. All items are CTMH unless otherwise stated.

Here is the front of the album. (album is not CTMH)

Here is the first page.

The pregnancy page. The blue rectangle with the word Pregnancy on it flips down to reveal mom's journaling.

(the stamp image of the pregnant woman is not CTMH)

The journaling spot on this page reads: We found out we were expecting on __, You were expected on__, Our doctor__, First time hearing your heartbeat__, How we planned for your arrival__, First thing we bought for you__, classes we took__.

Here is the page for the Baby showers she had.

(the sparkles (stickles) and brads are not CTMH)

One of the two hospital pages. There is a pull out tab on the right and a flip open spot on the left.

Here is the left page, with the flap open. On the front of the flap there is a spot for a 5x7 photo behind it is the journaling area and a spot to put the heartbeat/contraction monitoring sheet.

Here is the right hand side of the page. There is a spot on this page (on the green strip) for the 'its a boy' hospital card. It also has a pull out tab to journal on, with stuff that was happening on the day baby was born.

Here is the 2nd hospital page.

Here is the Right hand page and it has for tabs to pull out of a pocket and journal on. They say: The date you came home, the day of the week you came home, what was the weather like on the day you came home, and I left one blank.

Here is the page I made about Baby's first home. I made the page Green, brown and off white because those are the colours of Orion's room.

The journaling spot reads: Address__, Nursery colour scheme__, Special memories preparing the nursery__, and Notable things about our home__.

Here is a page all about Baby.

Here is a page for photo's of the Baby's family.

Here is a family tree page I made.

There is a spot for each person from Baby to Great-Grandparents. Each one is marked but it is very hard to see in the photo. The right branch is for Dad's side and the left is for Mom's.
