Hi all:
So, after I got all three of my cards done for the Stamping Royalty challenge, I started to focus on other projects that were lined up.
Last year, I experimented with making some small graduation albums for my nieces and nephew. They measured about 5" x 5", making them small enough to be pretty portable if they wanted to take them to school. I'm not sure if they ever used them (they are teenagers, after all), but the adults seemed to appreciate all of the effort that I put into the albums. :)
This year, my mom asked if I'd do one for my cousin's daughter, Emily. I promised her I'd get started with it as soon as the cards were done for the challenge. Tonight, I finished it. It was kind of fun to do this album for Emily, as she is graduating from my alma mater.
That's our little mascot - the Lakota Raider. :) I got him off the Raiders' facebook page. I printed him, cut him out, and then highlighted him with glossy accents. The words were printed off and cut to fit the matted piece.
The corners of the striped paper were punched with a Martha Stewart punch, then blue cardstock was placed behind the punched corners to bring out the detail.
I like how this page turned out. The matted areas can be used for pictures, memorabilia, or journaling. These are different colors of cardstock, one matted on top of the other. A couple of them were highlighted with patterns using a white gel pen.
I drew the volleyball and then filled it in with glossy accents. The words were printed out in blue ink and then matted on matching cardstock.
The paper lace was cut out with a Fiskar's punch called "lace". The tag was cut with a spellbinders die. The pearls were colored with a copic marker and the words are handwritten. The page on the left is actually a pocket page. I like to include pockets to catch things the folks might not want to glue into a book.
The paper with the lace edges is punched with a Martha Stewart "Punch Around the Page" set. The word is printed off and then adhered to the page.
I hope Emily enjoys filling this with all kinds of memories from her senior year.
Take care ~

Just cardstock and blue glitter letters. I included all of the textspeak to make it more teen friendly. :)
Emily was in the school play this spring. The rose under glass is hand-drawn.
