When I Grow Up Mini Album Ideas

Hi Girls.

Here are some quick sample sketches I came up with, I hope they jog up some ideas. I am going to post mine tonight {unfinished of course}


On the first one I posted {mine}. The journaling strips are actually paint and the title is a one word which summarizes the journaling in stickers and chipboard.

The second one uses notebook paper and has patterned paper on both sides to tie the look in together. It utilizes a circle in which a target word is written {ie: innocence, dreams, guidance, etc.}

The third uses primas. The on the first page. The stems could be hand sewn or doodlebug frills or ribbon or doodling. Two primas on the second page to anchor the look.

The fourth is circles .. circles of patterned paper everywhere and buttons.

The fifth is ribbon to anchor both pages together. In the center of the first page, a target word would be writen inside of a bookplate and the journalign would be inside of the ribbon lines.

The sixth is a combo of word stickers and journaling strips and they're interchangeable and everywhere. I see this as a collage. The word stickers would be target words {childhood, friends, etc.} and the journaling strisp would be the journaling. Kind of like newspaper clippings.

The last is super artsy. Paint a huge blob and journal on it and decorate however you see fit.
