guess what?

Charlie turned one yesterday. Yup. One. OMG.

I can't believe the boy is one already. I know everyone says that but still doesn't seem possible.

So in honor of his birthday, i thought i'd share his monthly album with you. This was a super-duper easy way to keep track of all of his milestones and miscellaneous stuff he's done, from his first smile to his first steps...

I kept his monthly cards in this:

a metal tin is from KI Memories 

and the pages look like these:

    

 

I'm sure you get the picture...

i just pulled the colors from the metal tin and tried using pattern papers with the same general colors and...voila, an instant album :)  I'm going to probably design the cover sometime in the near future when i have more time.

happy Friday everyone!

Absolutely beautiful! I looooove it and have saved it for future reference. Such a simple format, and so striking too! Well done!

Happy birthday Charlie! My 2nd daughter turned 5 on Nov 6 too. :-)

Moon, this album is fabulous! I love how you captured each and every milestone. And that little picture of Charlie at the top is way too cute! Great job!

Truly classic and beautiful Moon - love the tin idea and the colours are beautiful.

Happy Birthday to Charlie and I can hardly believe it either.

Please share the others if you can.
