It took me some time, many evenings, a few weekends, but I finally completed it. It was totally a labour of love. Note: one day I will try an autograph album, a bit like the ones I used to have in school. Hmmm --- I see a potential posting about this in the future.

Anyway, here are the pics:

This is the front cover of the 8 x 8 corduroy album by Chatterbox:

The front page --- this, and all the others, are in acid-free page protectors.



I punched out the words on the left page and stuck them back on with dimensional stickers to make them pop out.

A page for the happy parents to write down their feelings on discovering they would be having a baby soon.

This page is for the grandparents on both sides --- traditonal terms have been used here.


These two pages feature cut-out flowers and rub-on transfers, as well as journalling notes. On the next page (below), I used fabric yo-yos (made using that yo-yo maker tool from Clover) and cut out paper strips to make the whole thing look like flowers:

I liked combining patterned papers in the next few pages:

A bird-shaped chipboard accent, laser cut. Tweet, yes? And the full two facing pages below:

I used a sheet of paper with the words 'laugh' and 'love' and used the words as a background for a photo mat (below):

I have a whole stack of library cards --- doesn't it make a neat journalling spot for a book-loving new mother (above)?

Fabric stickers, perforated paper, rub-on phrases....

...and we come to the end of the album. The measuring tape is actually a ribbon!

I buy most of my stuff from my two fav scrapbooking stores here in Singapore:

Made with Love --- at Plaza Singapura --- and Laine's Papeterie at Wheelock Place. I have so much stuff from these two places....but I figure I will use the beautiful paper and accents and embellishments some day!

I just love the smell of paper.... :-)
