A mini album

Heya,

I tried my hands at a mini album yesterday. It was just a random thought that finally took shape. A cousin's wife is expecting their first child soon. And this kid is going to be the first in my paternal family so everybody is looking forward to the baby's arrival. :-)



The 'Bhatter' here is my maiden surname. 


I have monogrammed the letters of 'Bhatter' on all the right hand side pages.


Added a few die cuts, some chipboard stickers and little embellishments here and there...


We don't know if it is a boy or a girl, so I have used all colors ;-


The rub ons are from Hobby Ideas.


 I love my cuttlebug border embossing folders.


The cute stickers are a local find...


Thanks a ton to Juhi and Tejal for always replying to my SOS messages :-) I've used some glue n gloss inspired by Tejal (still waiting for her tutorial though) and my brother in law helped me with the ring and binding. :-)

Do tell me your opinion on my try... what can I change? (for the next one, that is)... and what are the binding options!!

Hugs,
Smita
