My daughter celebrated her birthday a week ago and I wanted to add a spread to her album to commemorate this special day. 6 years feels like a mini milestone because after the year is done, she'd be off to formal schooling, and her little friends will be scattered. She'd make new ones of course but there is that 'coming of age' feeling.
For this spread, I went completely digital. (To be honest, while her album is 'made', I haven't made the decision to go 100% digital or to print them out in future and insert into sleeves so I have the files as duplicates, PSDs and all).
I kept things simple yet meaningful, with small embellishments that tell part of the message. The gold K (for her name), 6 (for her age), and word arts that double up as wishes we have for her.
I used an assortment of kits but the main bulk came from 'Wanderlust' (background papers, journal card and numbers) because hey, life is an adventure! Other add ons came from Grow (word art), Jadore (journal card), big chipboard alpha (a really useful pack to have!) and Starry Night (stars).
Thanks for looking!
