I love themed scrapbooks for different occasions. "Why?" you ask. I really enjoy pulling them out for everyone to see at each occasion. I have good intentions of making one for all of the major holidays but the only one I've started is my sons birthday book.
I saw this 8" x 8" birthday album in a scrapbooking magazine quite some time ago. It was created by Melanie Louette. The idea fit so well with the Happy B-Day Simply Scrappin' Kit. All I added to the kit was a little cardstock and used my Sizzix Big Shot with the Stampin' Up! Alphabet Simple Numbers to create the number for each year.
Here is a look at three more years of birthdays.
Using a formula or similar layout and a kit with coordinating papers and embeliishments makes the album go together so quickly. You could easily create a birthday book from 1-18 in one day.
My son just turned five last week and I loved having this album to show everyone at his brithday party.
I love this idea so much I plan to offer this album as a class, probably in May.
Stay tuned for more details.
