Birthday Weekend Minibook

You may remember, a year ago almost, we went to one of the magical islands of Korea to celebrate my birthday. I came home and immediately began working on this minibook but for some reason got stuck at the very very end. Serial project non finished here. So this past weekend I made myself finish a bunch of projects that were just sitting around waiting on one or two last touches. This book was really simple, as I followed by fool proof strategy. I printed only the photos I wanted to use, I chose a color scheme, then picked out a handful of card and embellishments in that color/theme and worked from a 'kit' that I made myself. This technique helps me narrow down my choices and keep my books cohesive. About 95% of the embellishments and cards came from a few Messy Boxes which have quickly become my scrapbooking supplies of choice. Now, onto the book!  I love simple and quick albums. I love, even more, having books finished and in my hands so I can remember all the fun of surprise fun weekends. Now onto documenting all the fun to come this year!Photos edited with A Beautiful Mess actions (no longer available).
