I wrapped up my Prima "Get Your Grunge On: A Boy Album" project the other day. Forgive the photos but they're very quick and dirty.
This whole project was foreign to me. I've never really done a mini album, I scrap events- not photos, I don't do individual books about anything - just pages for the overall book, I journal everything since pretty much everything is event-based and therefore has something to be said about it, and as I'll say again, I really don't use flowers- ESPECIALLY for things about my son.
Since this wasn't going to be a normal album, coming up with a theme was tough but I wanted to do it otherwise it would be another unfinished project sitting around collecting dust. Flipping through photos, I realized that there were about 15 or so that I REALLY like and this would be a great place to collect those. The colors that Prima gave us for the book worked really well with the photos and the flowers definitely grunged up nicely.
Congrats for doing a mini album, I wouldn't have the guts. I'm also and event base scrapbooker, and try to fit a lot of photos onto one page so I don't have tons and tons of pages. This is a lovely book, sure to by treasured by your adorable son.
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteThe way the photos are grunged I don't think anyone would think they were girly. Anyway, the photos steal the scene!
