Baby's First Year Album with Maja Design and a Giveaway!

Hello friends!

By the time you're reading this, we would be up in the air on our way to Australia for a family holiday. I'm looking forward to a good time of rest and bonding with the kids, as well as catching up with family and friends there.

But first, a jumbo post for Maja Design today. I have a video tutorial to share with you, and it's a baby girl's first year album I made for our little girl who would be arriving in September. The Vintage Baby collection by Maja Design couldn't have come at a better time!

Here's the cover and some of the inside pages:


I made an accordion fold for the inside pages, with one side using lots of die cuts from the papers and the other with ample space for photos and journaling. The idea is to keep the whole album as simple as possible so that I have plenty of space for her photos and recording of her milestones.

And some of the details:













And here's the video tutorial:

    1. Hi! the scoring tool I used is the all purpose crafting tool from Prima. It can be used for distressing, rub-ons and a few different other stuff.
