I wanted to create an album that was would use
up the chipboard I had stashed as well as
the enormous amount of scraps I have laying around.
No rhyme or reason I just tossed
whacked up scraps
and other assorted leftovers I have on hand.
I totally got carried away and had fun.
I really need to go easy on the pop dots though.
🤣
I found photos of my boys when they were younger
so why not add them.
Also added are photos I printed and were the
wrong size for what I wanted originally.
I used a lot of "precut" die cuts
that didn't work on other projects I
originally whacked them for.
I also included papers that I made
using leftovers on white cardstock.
I had fun using embossing folders.
I also decided that titles could be optional
and use phrase stickers or stamps.
And envelopes.
Love tucking them in.
Did a couple of black & whites.
So the kidlet with the blue stars
is the
younger version of the man on the page below.
All grown up.
I didn't do alot of journaling either
because I journaled somewhere else.
I discovered in doing this album
I don't have nested square die cuts.
I need to do something about that.
I finally used that Smokey Bear sticker.
It's been around awhile.
I can't believe I left a blank page.
🤣
I love the different sizes and I did
move things around if I needed to.
I had a blast using a bunch of die cuts
I forgot I had.
I busted some stash but not enough.
It's quite bulky and clumsy.
❤️
I love how it turned out.
