a meaningful gift DIY
This past weekend we celebrated the much anticipated baby with a baby party.
It was pure joy to host this for my oldest daughter and her first baby girl. With that came an idea to craft not only a guest book for guests to sign, but to take it a step further and craft an album for certain documenting and photos.
The theme of the party was national park + woodland animals. For me, Care Free from Heidi Swapp was going to be the perfect match for this theme. Pulling out all kinds of pieces from that collection, I crafted a baby guest book album that was also bound with the We R Memory Keepers Mini Cinch and Rose Gold binding wire.
The 'hey' is a die cut page from the Project Pad as well as the vellum mountain side paper. That part of the collection can be hard to find. One can also use one's digital die cutting machine to make that. Or listed below I have a 'hello' die that I use all the time that could have also helped make this page. The mountain scene is also available now from Heidi Swapp in THIS acetate collection.
I snuck a photo from their maternity photo shoot last fall. No adornment on this page. Sometimes the photo is enough.
For each section in the book, I used a clear vellum or the mountain side vellum to sort of index the book. Then for a title I used THIS alpha die set from ScrapbookCom called Opposites Attract along with Rose Gold Foil and toner sheets I still had in my stash. Love the simplicity of this look and eager to use the alpha die set again.
So here is my favorite part. And I will be sharing this in a REEL. For the guest signing pages, I also created a space for thoughts. No real prompt there. Just wanted a space for friends and family to share their hearts with mama or baby. Then...the prayers for baby tag was part of the 'activities' of the party. I asked each guest if they would answer the prompts. For example: Dear little one, I pray you love... Then the guest got to fill in those type prompts.
Everyone got into it. It made me so happy to have this truly interactive guest book.
And that's a little look into this guest book. I hope this inspired some ideas for your future events. Or even gift idea. I have found that when you give people prompts, or spaces to share, they are willing to do just that. I pray these thoughts and prayers go long with this little one who is to be born very soon.
