BUNDLE OF JOY BRAG BOOK | with Shellye

New Moms or Grandmas would love to receive a handmade brag book featuring the new "Bundle of Joy" Collection!

Along with the brag book, I also stamped, colored and embellished little accent pieces with the "Nursery Friends" and "Bundle of Joy" Doodle Stamps & Cuts.

After die-cutting each piece, I layered on a smaller die-cut piece (mini hearts, stars, flowers, etc.) using a small piece of foam. Lastly, I used various sizes and colors of Mini Jewels to accent!

I also die-cut a matching shape from white cardstock and then glued to the backs of each piece. This allowed me to hide the bleed-through of the Copic Markers.

I purchased a plain 4X6 photo album from The Dollar Tree and cut swatches of patterned papers to place inside of each sleeve. The pages were decorated on the outside of the sleeve with die-cuts, stickers, sprinkles, etc.

When attached the journal cards and large die-cuts to the front of the plastic sleeve, I made a score line so that the pieces can easily fold back to display the photo.

On the cover, I machine-stitched a journal card and border stickers to the paper before inserting it inside of the sleeve. The outside of the cover was embellished with a sticker added with foam, sprinkles and a small Doodle Pop flower!

Be sure to add additional Sprinkles, die-cuts and stickers to the gift...mom or grandma will be in love!

Thanks for joining us today!
