Watch Me Grow: Wall Mini Album for Kaylie

(WARNING: There are a ton of photos in this post, so you may want to stop it from loading after you see the first few pictures appear.)

This is my version of the Watch Me Grow Wall Mini Album for Kaci's little girl. My hope is to do one for her son too and give them both as Christmas presents. This wall hanging was designed by Laura Denison of Following the Paper Trail and is available for purchase on her Etsy page. As you can see, it is held together by a 60" measuring tape, so if it's mounted on the wall, it can be used as a height chart. All the pockets have tags like the ones shown in the first picture for journaling and photos. I still have to purchase some hooks so the thing can be hung on the wall, but basically it is complete. It is a super thick book with 9 hanging panels with pockets, 8-4 x 4" photo mats on the outside of the pockets and 26 tags of various sizes in the pockets for pictures and journaling like the ones shown in the first picture. I used mostly paper from K&Co's Citronella paper stack, cardstock and ribbon from Michaels. The flowers are cut using just about every flower in my Cricut cartridge collection and are all Mod-Podged, of course, with brads and glitter glue (Stickles)for centers.
