Something Crafty

I just wanted to share what l did for Liam's 10th birthday, rather than make him a card as l usually do, l decided this year to make him a mini album. It showcased his birthdays for the last 10 years.
I chose some co-ordinating paper to cover the pages and added some painting. The design is pretty much the same for each page and l have hidden journaling, detailing each birthday, the simple where, who, what etc along with little things l remember.
It was a very simple fun project that l enjoyed doing. Liam was also very happy with the final result. Here are some detailed photos.
Enjoy.
Ages 3 and 4
Liam's 5th and 6th year, l added the text directly onto the photo with photoshop.
