Keep your most treasured first memories in a baby girl denim photo album

Canvas Corp paper collection has all the colors and designs to inspire you to create a unique keepsake for a special moment or someone precious in your life. Combine a Canvas Corp Denim journal cover with the sweet baby pink colors of the Canvas Corp Baby papers and make an baby album to hold your photos and memories in. Not familiar with book binding? No problem; in this step by step tutorial Crew member Kyriakos uses Canvas Corp Kraft Cards to make pages for the photo album, while the denim cover provides a beautiful and safe “case” to keep everything in.

“First moments, first photos, first year of your baby, all of them gathered and  kept in a handmade photo album. Relatively easy to make and expandible further just by adding more card pages. Either made for you or as a gift, it works as a nice piece to keep memories and special moments of a baby to have for years after”.  – says Kyriakos.

Step 7-  Take a stitched greeting Kraft card and decorated on the front and back parts. Remember that the sides of the card will be facing other pages as you place them in the cord of the journal. This means that you have to plan in advance what you will have first, second etc. In this case, the stitched denim side will be the right side of the album when we open it (left will be the previous step card quotes side).

Step 8 – Add little Kraft envelopes with cards to make pockets for some writing space.

The first year of your baby is now well kept in this baby photo album. Choose blue or pink, or why not trying any other color from the variety of Canvas Corp papers and craft a second album for the following years or use this tutorial for birthdays and important dates of life.
