wedding gift- scrapbook

Hi there! Last weekend was the big day, my sister in law got married :) We gave them their wedding gift at the shower, but I didn't want to show up empty handed so I made a scrapbook of the shower. I'm NOT a scrapbooker! Paper crafter, card maker, yes, scrapbooking, not so much! So I kept it simple. I bought an album that contained 12x12 page protectors & then bought a pack of 4x6 vertical & horizontal photo holders (I waited until all of this was 50% off at Hobby Lobby). I narrowed down the 300+ photos I took to my favorite 100 & printed them out when prints were on sale at Walgreens for $.10 (100 was the min. order). So this also turned out budget friendly too! 

The hardest part about this book was the organization of it. I ended up dividing the book into 3 sections: games, gifts, & guests. I used my Cricut to cut the titles & my paper trimmer to cut 4x6 pink fillers for pages that didn't have enough pictures. On the back of the cover sheet (that says tea party) I put all the tidbits from the shower- the invite, food labels, a balloon, & other bits of decor.

Overall it took about 3 hours & cost less than $40 :)
