Minature Wedding Scrapbook


Today was my parents 32nd anniversary! Congrats Mom & Dad! To celebrate we had a really fun party tonight at the church with dinner & games.
I wanted to make them something meaningful yet inexpensive. Here's what I came up with...
(Please excuse the pictures-they're kind of blury)

I made the pages out of some old chipboard that I had from paper packages. Basically, I just mod podged the paper to the chipboard and sanded the edges to give it an antique look.

I scanned a ton of their wedding/anniversary documents and pictures and shrunk them to fit the pages.

I added a few cutsie embellishments that I got from Scrapbooks Etc. (My new favorite store)

To make it more personal, I added some stories that they had written many years ago (upon my request when I was a teenager) about their dating and courtship.

And last but not least, I placed a little surprise in the pocket on the last page... A minature WEDDING LICENSE.

I'm so proud of myself because I typically just copy everyone elses good ideas for crafts, and this tiny wedding album was 100% thought up by me.

It was a ton of fun making it, makes me want to do one for me & Bryan!
