School Memories Album – Part 2
.
I’m putting together a “School Memories” album.
This week, I cut out my background papers. I’m using a coordinated paper pack from Stampin’ Up! called “Storytime.”
I spent time “auditioning” my photos against the different backgrounds to see which colors I liked.
It’s interesting to see how the photos look against different colors.
I’m not sure if this is the best way to go about putting an album together.
If anyone has any suggestions, I’m all ears.

using matching paper packs is a good starting point, I like the red paper but would also introduce some navy and cream, maybe matt the photo with them, can’t wait to see what you do xx remember to journal that’s so important for futre generations to be able to read when the photo was taken what age you were what you liked doing etc. You could use some of those gorgeous flowers you made to decorate the page as your dress has flowers on it.

Thanks, Sue. You are an amazing scrapper so I appreciate your advice!
In this case, 4 would be my favourite. It brings out the colour in the photo. Maybe go by chronological order, year 1 to …? With stories, places, dates, names attached. What fun!
I think this is exactly what I’m going to do.
I really don’t think Mum & I can offer any helpful advice!! Deccy x
I try and pick out one or more colours from the photo and have that in them papers.
Great thing to remember and that will help me with what colors to use.
What I usually do is cut a slightly larger piece of paper for behind my pictures, and then put that on top of a different, coordinating paper for the main page. I think all of them work, it just depends on what you like and prefer!
I like that look too. Great suggestion.
I really like the green background with the letters, the colour goes well with the picture and the handwriting excercises are kind of appropriate for a school picture.

I like three and four, but as you know, this whole subject causes me great stress. LOL I am in the process of purging and pictures are next on my list. Not fun!
I really like the green one and the blue one!

Awww, love the pic of you and the curly hair! Also, so neat to go back in time to those early childhood days 🙂
No suggestions but I can’t wait to see how you do it. Great picture of you! 🙂
