Baby Christening Keepsake

by // // No Comments

We were invited to the christening of our friend’s grandson and I was thinking of a suitable way to mark such a special occasion. I made this little keepsake to double as both card and gift. It includes all the details of the day and has spaces for the parents to add specifics about godparents, guests and gifts received. I love making this as it gives me chance to use some of my cutest dies as well as using some of my vast stash of patterned papers. I used a bought chip board album. I painted the edges of each page with white acrylic paint and covered them with patterned papers on both sides. I used my Cropodile tool and eyelets to reinforce the punched holes. Once decorated, I added ribbons, beads, and charms to the binding rings.
