hard to see but I put a B and an R (for Bridgewater Raynham High School) on the corners of the 2012 layered accent piece on the cover.
Yesterday afternoon I decided if I was going to give my granddaughter, Katie a handmade graduation themed photo album, then I better get on the stick and stop procrastinating. I had thoughts of creating this album for months and I had been buying themed paper and stickers for quite sometime, but I just never got it started.
I thought I had finally finished my project late last night, but this morning I remembered that I had bought a couple of sheets of Bridgewater Raynham High School themed paper from the scrapbook store in Bridgewater before it closed. The photo journal has 9 pages for now. Depending how many photo's Katie wants to put in her album I can always add more pages. The book is 9 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches. I made a rectangular book so more photos would easily fit on the pages. BR's school colors are red and white. I didn't take photos of the plain red pages in the album. I left the pages mostly blank, but I will decorate the pages as the photos are added. I didn't find a lot of graduation themed papers when I was looking, and I'm glad I had bought some last year.
I plan on bringing my photo printer to hook up to my camera so I can print out pictures as I take them and add them to the album at the party this afternoon.
The back cover of the book is red.
I went to a frame shop and bought scrap pieces of mat board that I cut down to the size I wanted for my pages.
I'm glad the album was finished in time. What do you think of it?
