Scrapbooking can be hard enough at times, especially when you do not have a particular theme to go with the pictures, or it is something that you can't find exact embellishments to match what it is you are wanting to do. Take one of the last projects I wanted to do for instance. It was Easter weekend, as well as my moms birthday - so how do you make something that incorporates the two?
Well, this was my take on a project for my sister...for her to document the day's events. I used an Easter bunny for the Easter theme, and added Easter eggs and a basket or two to go along with it. I also added presents and balloons to go with the birthday theme, this way both "events" were covered since they did both events at the party! With each of my albums I make, I always like to incorporate some sort of interactivity with my albums, such as tags, hidden journaling or objects...that type of thing!
This type of album can be bound with ribbon and floss to create the binding - using colors that match the project! Simply add the photos to the creation when you are done!
Mini albums make easy, fun gifts, being able to customize things to the event you are going to. For me, it's a work from the heart to be able to make something for someone who really appreciates it! Now, make sure you take care of the back cover too - it's not just about the rest of the album! I am getting a post ready with basic instructions I will keep referring to for my mini albums, that way - each post will refer back to the basic directions on how to create the album, and the posts for the mini albums will be how to create the intricate parts! I hope you enjoy the project, can't wait to show you the Mothers Day album I made for my sister Allison!
