I made them a wedding cake when they got married - they live in Luxembourg now - so I thought I would make them a little book.
It has been a labour of love - though not so long as Christine's giving birth to him!
I have just come in from my garden studio - and should really have waited until daylight to take photos - but as I am out first thing for the morning - I was too impatient to wait!
The colours look so much better in natural light.
As usual, click photos to enlarge
It was a hot sunny day here on the day Loic was born - so this reflects that rather than a pale baby blue little book. The front cover - the photo is under an acetate page, with dainty swirls and glittery gems - the beauty of which doesn't show up in the photo - but it creates a lovely frame, leaving the middle clear, and keeping the photo clean.
Literally just born
"This Magical Moment" -the facing page. A beautiful photo taken a few minutes later.
Over the page - he is having a nap
Another precious picture of his dad Thierry - savouring the moment
Oh La La - his first feed - how contented they look
I helped myself to this photo - just up on their blog today - Dad's just brought baby home.
The back cover - the little fluffy animal - was in his cot just after he was born so I managed to just get his head.
I will write or type up a message for this page.
I finished it off with hot orange and baby blue ribbons
Think I'll have a rest now!
I cut all the pages from mountboard - 7 inches x 5.5 inches.
I covered all the pages with plain and patterned paper and card.
K&Co everything else - Acetate frames, paper, rubs ons etc

You are very welcome
Thank you so much for this album. It really is the most thoughtful and beautiful gift we have received. I cried when I opened it. I know it was partially the over abundance of hormones coursing through my body. But the tears also came because of this amazing work of art with so much thought and creativity. I love the sunny, warm colors, which match his room We will treasure it forever. We still have the beautiful box you made for the wedding cake as well. Another work of art. Thank you again!
