I made these coaster albums for a very good friend of mine who was expecting. I wanted to be prepared, so I made one of each! I ended up using the girl album - Keleigh was born yesterday!

I love both your coaster books. I am curious as to how you finished the inside. I am going to make my 26 yr old daugther a baby book for Christmas using some of her baby pictures. They are all on slides and have been tucked away for years/

Thanks for the comments, ladies!
Lynne - I kept the inside very simple, as I didn't have pictures to insert yet. I did a layer of Purely Pomegranate at 3 1/4 x 3 1/4, then a layer of Pretty In Pink at 3 1/8 x 3 1/8. My friend who I was giving it to is always saying that she isn't crafty, so I thought this way, she could select her pictures, crop them using a 3x3 sticky note and adhere them. If I had added any other embellishments, it would have been hard for her to insert pics and it would have been hard to shut the book.
I used four coasters for this, so by the time I had done the cover, I had enough room to make 6 layered pages for pictures. The outside of the back coaster only has designer series paper adhered to it - no layers. Hope that explains it okay!
