Good morning my crafty friends!
It's another wonderful hot day inTN.
Purple Cows asked me to make a project
that involved a gift for a baby shower.
I am the first to admit I was stumped.

Then I got to thinking, what if we re-invented the wheel a bit?EVERY new mom wants to share baby pictures.
I remember being a new mom with a wallet full of photos.
That lead me to think about how to make it more fun!How to make it more crafty!
But also durable.
Then it came to me...HELLO Laminator! :)
I can make a mini book for all those first pictures...but also make an awesome HOLDER for it!
So any mom could slip it into her purse or diaper bagand not worry about it being ruined.
That's how I ended up with this project.A mini album with a laminated wallet/pocket for the
mini album, that you could take anywhere.
What do ya think? Cute right? I like it :)Of course I used my handy dandy Helmar
Adhesive Runner and 450 Quick Dry!
*I always do* LOL
Sometime soon Purple Cows will have the full tutorial and stepby step on how to make your own.
That's my project for the day. I am
pleased with the end result..now to find a new mom
who needs a baby book! LOL
~Have a GREAT Thursday~
I am going to bake cakes today for hubsters!
We are going to surprise him with a cake and ballooons
at work for his birthday. Oh he is going to kill me LOL
~Thanks for popping by~

Pinky, the baby book is a fantastic idea and to make it durable is great. You always have such wonderful ideas. Your family is blessed to have you and I hope your cake and balloons delivery is lots of fun :o)
