CALENDAR
Each girl brought along 6-10 pictures of one event, but before they could use their pictures, we had some things to go over.
I put together some projects for the girls before they arrived. They each had a piece of white paper and some different, basic elements that can be used to jazz up the page.
(white paper, a triangle, a strip and some matting papers along with a die cut.)
(I slipped it all in a page protector so the girls could take home their finished project and it made sorting everything ahead of time so much easier.)
I ran through a basic 101 scrapbooking with them. I demonstrated and then they made their pages- using triangle pieces and strips along with some die cuts. We did about 3 of these examples- pointing out different ways to journal, and matting using plain and patterned papers.
(just adding the strip and triangle brings a white piece of paper to life. )
(Add in the die cuts and you have a themed page all ready for pictures and journalling.)
(chuck down some mats for the pictures or for journaling and you have gone from a simple plain white piece of paper to one full of color, bright and cheerful. simple eh?! )
It was good basics for the girls since only two of them had done any scrapbooking before. Once we had gone over the basics and all the tools and elements that had been used – the girls spent the rest of the afternoon creating their pages. Hopefully, they will keep up with this skill and the history they are making.
