Some weeks ago I was asked to provide some 'entertainment' at a Hen's Party. The hostess thought it would be lovely if all the guest contributed towards making something of a keepsake for the bride.
At her request, we decided to make up a lovely photo album for the bride to use for her wedding photos later. It was a success! The guests loved having that activity on the side to do, and the bride herself was thrilled to have an album where each of her guests had added a bit of personalization.
Her colours were Calypso Coral and Very Vanilla. So here is what I came up with that any person at the shower could achieve while still being very nice for the bride:
(these are my photos from my wedding by the way just used for the samples)
Couldn't not use the favorite bird punch!
I designed up four pages the guests created variations of these designs.
EAch of the pages had the flourish from the Elements of Style stamp set, creating unity amongst the pages.
I used the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and finished it off with the Basic Pearls and the Jewellery Tag Punch. Easy and effective!
The nice thing about the 8×8 size is that a couple of photos and one embellishment is pretty much all you need! I used the Apothecary Accent Framelits here, which has been my most used die set for scrapbooking by far, to create a nice accent for the journaling.
The flower here was created by layering all the images from the Boho Blossom Punch. I've inked the edges with Calypso Coral and adhere with a simple brad.
This last design was the most popular! Everyone loves a butterfly! I've used both sizes of the butterfly punches, the Elegant Butterfly and the Bitty Butterfly here. Embellished with some Linen Thread and Pearls, and it looks great. Oh, and I've used the Boho Blossom Punch for the flowers again here, too!
All of the above were layered on top of the Lattice Die, also done in Vanilla.
I hope this inspires you to try scrapbooking or to make up an album of coordinating pages!
