Senior Picture Album
It's probably hard to believe, but I really do know how to scrapbook. Unfortunately I am at a time in my life that I really don't have time. This is why you don't see layouts from me and also why I plan on taking up Project Life. However, there are those special occasions that I step up and do a mini album of some kind. My daughter's graduation was one of those occasions. I printed a bunch of her senior pictures and went to work on this quick album. I will say it was very quick - 3 to 3.5 hours start to finish once I chose the paper. It helped that my mom was there to help sort out the photos.
I found this 8X8 album at my local Joann's several weeks ago and knew it would be perfect since it was in my daughter's favorite colors. Finding paper was a bit of a challenge since I didn't head to the city. However, while looking around my craft room I found a little file of paper that my daughter had chosen as her own. I grabbed that and knew that I couldn't go wrong since it was the paper she had chosen. I used Core'dinations Chocolate Brown textured paper as the base for all my pages which were cut at 8X8. I also used it as well as some other Core'dinations colors to mat all the photos. I then simply cut all the designer paper and cardstock at 7 3/4" square and adhered them to the brown paper and added the photos.
The most time was spent on the title page. I used the same paper from Lisa Gibbon's Prima paper that I had used on all of her other projects. I also handmade each of the 3 flowers. I love to have everything coordinate. The following supplies were also used on this page:
3 Girl JAM -
Jeremiah 29:11 digital image found here.
Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge
Since this is the last project that I made for Elise's graduation, I decided to post a picture her display table. Each graduate was responsible for their own table that showed their likes and activities. This is where we displayed all of the projects I made as well as her favorite things.
If you would like to see the video that shows the whole album, it is posted below.
