SAY CHEESE CLASSIC POOH BABY ALBUM PAGES/A CHERRY ON TOP

Good morning, friends. Nicole here, sharing a baby album I have been working on for my son who is almost 16 years old! Simple Stories' Say Cheese Classic Pooh collection is absolutely adorable and I just had to use it to document Edward's baby stories. 

Most of the time, I'll have a separate page where I journal on the notebook paper that comes in the SNAP Binders, but that always looks too boring compared to all the beautiful pages that are embellished. I decided to do something different by adding the photo directly on the notebook paper and then add my journaling around the photo. Next, I added a few embellishments at the top of the page to fill in the white space.

Throughout the album, you'll notice I have a decorative page. This is a fun way to play with words that goes with your stories!

One thing I made sure of was to document the days of waiting for his arrival...I was terrified he would come early...We had a blizzard just a week prior to the day he was born! There was 3 feet of snow on the ground. No one was getting in or out of my neighborhood. I'm so thankful he decided to stay put for another week... He literally stayed in there full term. LOL...He did not want to come out.

I love this photo and I'm so thankful my mother was with me in the recovery room to take it. This was my favorite moment with Edward after 24 hours of labor... me holding him and really looking at his beautiful face. He just stared at me... So precious. I love that he will have this album to look back on when he is older. Something I wish I had as an adult.

I used a variety of 4x6 cards, tags and sentimental die cuts to document these precious moments. Seriously, when I look at these photos, I wonder to myself, where has the time gone? Edward will be 16 years old next month. Cry-Cry.

I absolutely love the 6x8 Binder Inserts that come with this collection!! They are super fun and oh so pretty! And I especially love all the adorable Pooh elements. It's so darn cute!

I had so much fun making this album and these are only half of the pages of the album. To see more, check out my YouTube channel on January 12th! I'll have a video going live on how this came together and a full flip through of the album. I hope I inspired you to document your babies! Thank you so much for visiting today.
