I used the new line of Scenic route patterned paper. It is such a great boys paper line. I also used two pieces of chipboard and 4 pieces of brown Bazzill cardstock to cover the chipboard for the cover. I inked everything with a dark brown chalk Cat's Eye ink. I also used the American Crafts foam letters and two diffrent colors of large ricrac.
You would first glue the brown cardstock to each side of the chipboard.
Now using the Zutter Bind It All, you will make holes in the two covers and each of the six envelopes as seen in the picture above. If you do not have a Bind It All, there are several ways the you could bind your album. For instance, you could punch three holes down the side of each cover and envelope and use three binder rings available at any office supply store.
Your album should look similar to this once it is bound.
Now you can get creative with your album and decorate any way that you wish. The picture above is the title page.
Using the lined Scenic route paper, I typed the above captions for each envelope. The font I used is "Pharmacy". I love this font and have used it in many projects. Great for boys projects.
Just thought I would show what each page looks like after embellishing.
And on the opposite side of each embellished page I plan to put pictures from that year of school. Hope you enjoy this project and it spurs a moment of creativity for you or even gives you another idea for a keepsake album.
