Project - Themed Projects : 3rd Birthday Party by Sheri Mae posted 06/15/09 Galleries: Scrapbooking <p>If you're like me and take a lot of pictures during your children's birthday parties, then this idea will come in handy. Instead of creating one layout about my oldest daughter's 3rd birthday party, I created a mini album. If you have never done a mini album digitally, then now is the time to do it! It's super easy!</p> <p>I used Crystal Wilkerson's Tons of Scallops {Template kit} as my basis for each page. I then used Crystal's Birthday Doodles Brush Pack, along with Jen Allyson's Sprinkles kit! To add a special touch I used Sande Krieger's Borderlines # 4 kit and used border #14 around each page! I am really into doodled borders these days! I find they add a nice finishing touch!</p> <p>I created the pages at 12x12 inches, but later resized them to approx. 5.5 inches, this was so I could print them and create a 6x6 mini album.</p> <p>To create the album, I used one piece of 12x12 black cardstock. I scored it using my paper cutter at 6 inches down the middle. Then I cut the 12x12 piece of cardstock in half, giving me two pieces approx. 12x6 inches. Since I only have five pages to my mini album, I cut one of those pieces in half. Each page is approx. 6x6. I then took the one 12x6 piece and folded it and inserted the half piece inside and then stapled the edge of the album. I then adhered my printed pages to each page. To cover up the staples, I took an old ribbon (I believe it was once wrapped around a pair of pjs I got for Christmas) and tied it on the edge. </p> <p>It was super easy to do and now my daughter has a cute little album she can carry around to look at pictures from her party!</p> |
