Baby Boy and Baby Girl 6x6" Albums

 

Did you know that you can cut any of our 12x12" My Creations TM  Level 1 Kits in quarters to make quick and easy 6x6" gift albums?  You can!  These cute-as-a-button Baby Boy and Baby Girl albums are made from just a Level 1 Baby Boy or Baby Girl kit and a pack of Baby Boy or Baby Girl buttons!  They make a unique, affordable gift for a Mom-to-be, and your supplies will even make a coordinating gift tag!  Take a look at these sample pages:

Close To My Heart rubber stamp and scrapbook idea

All you have to do is cut the pre-printed layouts from your Level 1 kit into quarters.  You'll also cut up the 2 sheets of cardstock and 2 sheets of coordinating background/texture paper that comes in the kit to create additional layouts.  Finally, just accent the pages with  punch-out art from the kit and a pack of buttons.  To make it easy for you, I've included step-by-step instructions and cutting guides for the Baby Boy and Baby Girl albums you see here.  You'll also find links below to photos of all the pages in both albums.  I've even numbered the photos to correspond to the instruction sheet.

Remember, you can turn any of our 12x12" My Creations Kits into an adorable 6x6" album!  Just use your imagination!  

NOTE: Many thanks to fellow consultant Stacy Williams.
