A Day in Paris

It's a cold and miserable day in our part of the world. It's good scrapping weather though!

Here's a mini album I made for my parents after their first trip to Europe. They loved Paris so much that I wanted to make a special keepsake for them. This album has just been published in the most recent edition of Australian Scrapbook Ideas ( Issue 15).

I used Prima's "Agenda" paper from the Almanac collection as the base for the book. This paper is a series of journaling blocks which were the perfect size for this album. Here's the front cover:

Each page is a bit less than 4 x 3 inches so there's not a lot of room for details. I used stamping to add interest and depth without bulk and kept embellies flat.

As a cute extra twist, I converted the photos to sepia then used a violet filter over them. This gave them just a tinge of pink which suited both the photos and the theme beautifully. Here are some pages:

I enjoy these tiny projects. They're so much fun!
