I really love that my family enjoys getting little scrapbooks as gifts... it makes it so much fun for me to make personalized albums for birthdays and holidays. Sometimes when I give a regular gift instead of a scrapbook, they're disappointed! So for Mother's Day this year I decided to make a mini album of Adorable-Niece-Eraleigh for my mom as a Grandma's Brag Book that she could keep on her desk at work. And, since Rick, Erin and Eraleigh are temporarily staying with my parents, I made a copy to send to Erin as well! It was so fun to hear about their surprise... not surprise over the fact that my gift was an album (they guessed that before opening the shipping box!) but surprise that there were two of them! It was almost as easy to make two as one, so it was fun for me to be able to do it :)
I love these 6x6 American Crafts mini albums. I got them at Archivers in the $1.99 spot... that's a deal you can't pass up! These are the completed albums with the cards I made to go with them.
Here are the album pages - lots of these were adapted from other layouts I'd already made for myself, so they'll probably look familiar:
So that's it! I've already scrapbooked all these photos except the ones on the last page (but I have a half-finished layout on my desk using those) but Eraleigh is just so darling that I loved scrapping them all over again.
