Elegant Memory Book

The layered hues and patterns displayed in this memory book offer an overall feeling of elegance.

Guest Anna Griffin reveals a way to create a dramatic memory book using a single color in different hues.

Materials:

paper in various shades of one color
vellum
scissors
adhesive
ribbon
oval frame

Steps:

Divide pages in half. One side will be used for a story, and the other for scrapping.
Cut three strips of paper into 1/2" x 12" strips.
Cut one of the strips in half making it 6" long.
Using the strips of paper, assemble a frame on the left side of one sheet of paper. Miter the corners.

Figure A

Cut a sheet of vellum to 4-1/4" x 10-1/2", and then mount to page. Use the vellum for journaling (figure A).

Using a different shade of paper cut two sheets into four 6" x 12" pieces.

Adhere sheets back to back.
