***Giveaway is CLOSED***
As you all know memory keeping is my passion and is a life style for our family. I am also passionate about sharing my love of scrapbooking. I do that mostly here on my blog but I also want to share that passion with kids. I think it's so important that they learn how and why documenting memories is important. That's one of the reasons we (my daughter and I) chose a scrapbooking themed birthday party for her. My little girlie's scrapbooking themed birthday party was a huge hit. (If you missed part 1 you can find it HERE.) We had so much fun (me and the girls). The first thing we did when the girls arrived was took lots and lots of photos. I set up a photo booth in the basement using a black backdrop and a few photo props that I created using my Silhouette Cameo and a few dowels. The photo booth is one area that I was a little bit disappointed with. I forgot to test the lighting out before the party and I ended up having to use the flash on my camera so the photos didn't turn out as good as I had hoped.
After we took A LOT of photos in the photo booth I sent my husband on a mad dash to the one hour photo.
He came home with a HUGE stack of photos. I had him print enough duplicates so that each girl had her own set of photos from the party. We had the tables set up in my kitchen with American Crafts This to That adhesive and a few tools scattered down the center of the tables.
Each girl had a stack of her very own brand new supplies to play with. I chose the Pebbles We Go Together collection because it's such an adorable collection and the party was so close to Valentines Day.
To say the girls had fun playing with all the pretty paper, stickers, and glue would be an understatement. They giggled, laughed, and had so much fun looking at and playing with all the photos we took.
I thought you might like to see the album my daughter made. I'm a proud mommy, I love how her album turned out! Here's the cover:
Here are a couple of pages inside the album:
I do think that I'm going to have her go back and add some journaling to her pages. I want her to document her thoughts and memories from the party.
Overall, I think the party was a huge success. At the end of the party I had a happy little girl and that's all that matters.
Now, I get to share the fun of this party with one of you. I get to share some of these goodies with one lucky person. I have this to giveaway:
This stack of goodies includes a 6x6 chipboard album, a 6x6 paper pad, and a bunch of embellishments. The paper pad and embellishments are from the We Go Together collection from Pebbles.

Oh my! What a darling party! It looks like they were having a blast. This would have been my dream come true to play with all these pretty supplies when I was ten (or any age for that matter). You're daughter's album turned out really cute! :)
ReplyDeleteI meant "your". I hate when I do that. LOL!
DeleteWhat a wonderful party, the girls looked like they had a great time! I have been scrapbooking with my daughter for many years, if she was still little (she is 26 now) I would totally copy this idea. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute and adorable idea!! Looks like it was a HUGE success!!
ReplyDeleteWOW - what a FUN & FABULOUS party Becki :)
ReplyDeleteIt is SO COOL that you got the photos printed so that the girls could scrap the "live" action and with such crafty delights too!!!
This would have been an EXCITING and memorable party for your daughter and her friends. I think is wonderful to encourage crafting with kids, some of my most enjoyable times have been crafting with nieces and nephews. Journaling is an area I NEED to work on, so I will do my best to encourage them from now on.
Thank You for sharing you party inspiration and for giving us the chance to win some crafty awesomeness too :)
So excited about what you shared here - awesome party and so impressed with all the little details that went into this AWESOME party!! So very cool!!!

ReplyDeleteI celebrated my 38th birthday with a scrapbooking themed party and we had a blast! One of my friends taught a layout class and that was my gift to my guests. I had balloon decorations in the form of my favorite glue and scissors! The cake had ribbons, embellishments, etc. It was so much fun! :D
