Scrapbooking for a Friend

I have a friend that went on a wonderful vacation to California recently. He wanted to showcase his vacation in a different way than just putting the pictures in a photo album. Knowing how much I love to scrapbook he asked me if I would make a scrapbook album of his vacation.

My initial concern was "How do you scrapbook photos of someone else's memories?"  I had my friend to sort his photos by location, then asked him to make notes of where the photos were taken. After consulting with him we decided I would leave several spots in the album for him to add personal journal notes.

After getting familiar with the pictures I came up with some great ideas. I made different layouts (using mostly CTMH papers, embellishments, page protectors, and the album itself - of course - the quality is beyond compare!).

As the album came together I found myself getting more and more excited to show my friend.  I gave him this title page preview and he was really pleased. I can't wait to see his reaction to the whole album this weekend!  I'll keep you posted!

So - don't be afraid to try something you've never done - for instance, making a scrapbook for a friend!  It's so satisfying!!

Have a MARVelous time crafting, everyone!
