School Year Album

Design by Lisa Storms

Scrapbook a year of school pictures in a weekend! Lisa housed two 4x6" photos on each page of her 8x8" album by sticking to a basic structure. For the cover, she placed same-color rubber alphabet stickers around a title block.

1. For each page, type your journaling in a 2"-wide column on the right edge of an 8" square of patterned paper. Lisa left room in the middle to overlap a page title. (If you have vertical shots, line them up at the top of the page and run your journaling horizontally at the bottom.)

2. Attach photos to the pages as shown. For the title page, Lisa simplified with an enlarged shot and a square detail photo.

3. Use rub-on letters to add titles to strips of red cardstock. Apply adhesive foam and attach the title between the photos.
