Collecting Precious Family Memories – Scrapbook Pages 5&6
This is Page 5 & 6 for my continuing series of the Scrapbook Collection as a gift to my Mother. Just some ideas to share with you! Check them out!
Read my project intro here. I created this album for my Mom, this is a project of Love. After years of collecting and months of organizing, sorting, and reminiscing, the family history came to life with die cuts, shiny paper, and glittery photo corners.
As a continuing project of the Album of Precious Family Memories, we are now working on PAGES 5 and 6. Find a printable list of Materials and Instructions here.
Scrapbook Instructions Page 5 & 6:
From the Curious Skin Indigo, cut two 2.5″ strips. Using the 1/4″ red liner tape, attach it to both sides of the scrapbook paper. Emboss the full sheet of the Hinted Gold cardstock. Using more red liner tape, attach the embossed Hinted Gold, centering it, overlapping the blue strips.
Arrange and attach the photos using the glitter corners. Put the side pieces of tape a little inside the backside edge, in case you need to slip the edge of the name tag under the photo.
Print the name tags, I used Calligraphy Script, 11 pts, and using more red liner tape, put them alongside the photos. I used the round corner punch on some corners. . I put glue under each layer, along with the tape.
At the edges of the paper, per the photo, use 1/4″ red liner tape, with 1/2″ tape top and bottom. Take off the red tape and cover with gilding flakes.
On-Page 5, I used Memory Box, Virtuoso Music and cut 3 sets of musical notes: 2 out of the Pure Gold and 1 out of Shimmer, Blue Sodalite. I attached with Cosmic Shimmer glue.
