Our eldest son was born 2 months early and I had to record the photos on this special page. It features him (and me!) right before and right after he was born. To create the page, I used regular scissors to trim the photos--3 of which were Poloroids, and then cut my own frames with 'baby paper' and using an exacto-knife. I also used an acid free gluestick to paste them on the acid free paper. |
This page is of his High School Graduation in 1998. I used the gluestick once again to poste on his Graduation announcement, and a star-shape 'frame' that you can buy from packages in scrapbooking stores. Acid free gel pens were used to write on all the pages. |
This page was made using the normal techniques, but I also cut the edge of the photos using special scrapbooking pinking shears. This way I didn't have to make frames at all. I could just paste the photos on top of a plain shape and it looks pretty neat! |
