This past weekend was my boyfriend, Jackey's mom's birthday and I thought of making her a small scrapbook (thought it would be more special than a birthday card while it still delivers the b-day msg). I worked on the scrapbook for about 3-4 days, and I'll be sharing a few of my pieces from this scrapbook.
I bought this small scrapbook album (6" by 6")which also came with some themed paper and stickers at Wal-Mart for around $4.00 (I think it was on sale but even at regular price, it should only be around $8-10).
My #1 favorite piece from the album:
HOW TO DO IT:
- I recently bought a stack of scrap-booking paper from Homesense that already had the pretty cut-outs so I simply just trimmed it down to the desired size
- next, choose a background color that you like and in this case, I chose to pair up my purple cut-outs with a blue background
- third, chose a colored ribbon of your choice and glue it across the top and the bottom (this way, it can also hide the edges ends of the cut-outs (if it wasn't trimmed nicely)
- fourth, glue the photo you wish to display across the center
- finally, glue any words or phrase across the top (or you can also make some bows with the ribbon or use other stickers to decorate the top)
My second favorite piece:
HOW TO DO IT:
- choose a color for the background and decorate it with ribbon across the page
- trim borders for your photos (one of the ways to do it is to trace your photo to get the right size border for your photo)
- instead of using alphabet stickers, I decided to cut out my own Chinese words to form the heading
- finally, decorate the rest of your scrapbook with appropriate themed stickers
