I made this little 6 x 6 handbag album a few months back in one of Helen Williams' online workshops (Heidi Grace Handbag Album) which is available via the "Online Workshops" link in the left-hand sidebar of this blog. At the time of making the album I knew that I wanted to use it for Dayna's Graduation, so I set about completing it over the past couple of days.
I didn't have a lot of the papers to play with, so I've used them sparingly on each page! I've used a barcode font to make price tags for her dress, shoes etc., I though it would be fun to look back on in 20 years to see how much it all cost IYKWIM. I also managed to scrounge up photos of her with all of her teachers throughout the years and asked the teachers to write a little graduation message for her.
I'm really happy with the end result and Dayna is over-the-moon - it's such a wonderful keepsake for her.
If you're interested in seeing the whole album, I have a full slideshow on my blog.
I've used the Cloud9 "Downtown" collection papers and embellishments for this album - it's an older collection so I'm not sure if it's still available in Spotlight or not.
Cheers Paula
Online workshops? Wow-teach me to pay more attention to the info on the sides. Thanks for the tip. Love the album!

Paula this looks fantastic. Dayna will love it. When I did Kady's scrapbook pages last year for her graduation I also included the prices as I think it's such a cool thing to look back on.
