It will be very cheering to see at the end of the year all the evolution of this little baby! It will become an album that he’ll keep for a very long time!

Svetlana says:

“I made this mini-album as a gift for my friend. This little book shows the first year of her baby boys life. Cockadoodledoo Collection couldn’t be a better choice for this type of project. All the cuteness of the paper and lovely embellishments allow for a lot of fun when working on a project like this.I used chipboard as a base for this album. I cut it myself in the size I needed.  To give the background an interesting and a little distressed look, I used some white acrylic paint diluted in water in a sprayer. Then I covered it with distress ink and gave some extra spray with glimmer mist. Here is a few details of the album as well as the back cover.”
