Baby's First Year album

Hello Crafty People,

I am here again today with a Baby Record Book for my nephew, with tonnes of space for pics & memorabilia !!
This is an A4 Sized, Ring Bound Album which makes it easy to add/remove pages from the album.
The Pattern Papers are mostly from various collections by DCWV. Some are from K & Co and from other brands.
The Front Cover has a Shaker Title to add some fun... I have added some Baby Themed Confetti that I was hoarding since a long time now !! I thought it looked cute here... The little inserts are the "Snap Cards by Simple Stories"

Check out the video below for the complete look !!
ENJOY !
