Clear Scraps Project Post

Hi there everyone!  Laura is here with you today to share a great mini album that's perfect for all those summer vacation memories!

This is one of the Clear Scraps Retro Word Albums.  It's available in several word options.  This is the "Travel" Chipboard Word Album.  You can find the other designs in the store HERE.  They are so fun to create!  They are a unique way to scrapbook your memories–or even to give as a gift if there was a special "friends" or family trip.  I've used paint and patterned paper in a mix on this album in bright fun colors.  And don't be afraid to add a few embellishments (stickers, enamel dots, etc) to the front of the album to give it a little pizzazz!  Next I'll share each page so you get an idea of all the room in these albums!

PAGE ONE FRONT:

PAGE ONE BACK:

Adding a pocket with tags is a good way to incorporate more photos or journaling.  You can use the back of tags like these.

PAGE TWO FRONT:

PAGE TWO BACK:

PAGE THREE FRONT:

Cute tags and ribbons add a little texture and fun to a mini album like this.

PAGE THREE BACK:

PAGE FOUR FRONT:

You can see the way the paper from the next page shows from behind.  It's great to choose a paper (or paint) that will highlight the lettering.

PAGE FOUR BACK:

This could easily be more than one picture–easy to make it your own depending on the types and how many photos you have.

PAGE FIVE FRONT:

PAGE FIVE BACK:

You could also add photos on the back–or perhaps the date and where the trip way in the strip across the back.   These albums can be super embellished or super simple–it's up to you!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Hope you've gotten some inspiration to create your own Retro Word Album!
