Scrapbook YOU! Day 6 {Childhood years.}
For today’s layout we are throwing a party, a birthday party!
Not quite, but we do want to scrapbook about what birthdays were like for you as a child.
(Quick reminder! If birthdays were not a big thing in your family you might choose to scrapbook another significant tale from your childhood.)
TOPICS:
- What were birthdays like as a child?
- Did you have a party? Were birthdays an exciting event?
- What were the special details?
- Did you have cake? What kind? Who made it? Any funny cake stories? What was your favourite kind?
- Were there decorations? Party hats? Streamers?
- Who was there? Did you celebrate with friends and family?
- Did you play games?
- Gifts?
- What was the best present you received as a child?
- Did you share your special day with someone else?
You can focus on one specific birthday, or give a general feeling of how your birthdays were celebrated.
PHOTOS:
Do you have photos from your birthdays? If so, great!
If not, you have other options.
- Use a different photo of you from the right time frame, even if it’s not a birthday photo.
- You can find and use a stock photo of your favourite type of cake.
- Create a layout without a photo. (Try adding quotes and/or large embellishments instead!)
(Please do not PIN.)
One of the photos flips to reveal more photos!
DESIGN TIPS:
Birthdays are a time of excitement and fun, so bring some of that to your layout too! Try adding:
- bright colours
- birthday symbols; cakes, cupcakes, party hats, candles, balloons, streamers, confetti
- banners
- polka dots
- numbers
