Charlotte's first year

To keep record of Charlotte's first twelve months, I wanted something more than her little baby book. I really more blank space, free rein, a place to draw and write and include a few photos from each month, her birth announcement, handprints, lines from my journal, etc. Old-fashioned photo albums are beautiful, so I decided to buy a lovely handmade album from BlueRoofDesigns on Etsy.

A friend of mine wanted to see a little of what I had done with it, so here are a few photos. I apologize for the blurriness and the darkness!

This album was intended to feel sweet, romantic, and delicate. I wanted to use true materials and technique in the form of the handmade paper, photo corners, and calligraphy.

My friend Elissa is the bookmaker that created that journal and what you've done with it is gorgeous! I'm home with baby #3 and I've been inspired! best, Alexandra.

Thank you, Alexandra, I appreciate that! Elissa's beautiful book gave me such a wonderful place to start. I know you enjoy your three little ones!
