A friend photographer, Simone, came over to the house snapped pictures of me-kids. A week later, the photos were ready. I was so excited to scrap them. Oh, and the photos were taken in our very own garden. Must say Simone made it look great. Great photos, Simone! I did my very first kids' accordion album titled UP, CLOSE and PERSONAL for both my daughters, Nadia and Nadira. Basically, the album focuses on the different personalities of each of them. Included photos of the different faces of each child and wrote a short note about each face. The idea is to include all the different faces that each make. The theme of Nadia's album is more of a flowery girly kinda album so hence the colours of the album are soft, greeny, pinky and that sort. Nadira's album however contains more of the stronger colours describing her stronger character as compared to her elder sister, Nadia. Both a 8x8 accordion album made out of 10 sheets of 8x16 size of acid free plain white paper, folded in half and scored. This time i glued the pages together. Previously, i used glue stick and double sided tape. More expensive that way. Both the albums, i used King's Bond Glue -Best Japanese Glue- Multipurpose. Unfortunately, the glue does not dry clear and once dried, causes paper to crumple. So, not that great after all. I have also used it to glue the cover pages together. Must say it is pretty strong. Says on bottle 1.1kg costs RM9 bought it from Carrefour. Definitely worth the money and very usable!
