My First Kathy Orta Creation

I've been following Kathy Orta at Paper Phenomenon for a long time and finally found a reason to try and make one of her gorgeous creations. She makes it super easy to follow and I love her New York accent to boot. I have a baby shower to attend next Sunday and wanted to make something special for my friend. She knows I scrapbook but doesn't get to see many of my creations.

I wanted to add the baby's name to the front but my friend has yet to decide on a name for her little bundle of joy.

Here's a close up of the flowers I hand rolled - I've never rolled flowers before and was happily surprised at how easy it was. The metal accent is Making Memories Embossed Charms - Sentiments. I thought it was a cute touch.

The paper pack I used is Debbie Mumm for JoAnn's that I picked up a few years ago for the boy paper. I finally got to use a lot of the pink.

 I really LOVE the Tim Holtz hanger paper clips.

  

I used a couple Tim Holtz metal trinket diaper pins for tag pulls.

 

 
This Envelope Mini Album is FULL of space for 4X6 photos and journaling. I hope my friend takes lots of pictures of her new baby.

Thanks for looking at my version of Kathy Orta's mini album.
