Passport to Fun

Passport to Fun is the name of one of the classes I took at Canada's Scrapbooking Crop 4 Kids last weekend, taught by Nic Howard. The idea behind the "passport" is that it is an autograph and memory book for your CSC4K weekend. What a fun concept! Unfortunately for me, this was the last class I attended, so since it was too late to collect autographs, I decided to make mine into a mini album for photos of my girls.
This was my first time making a paper bag album, and it was a lot of fun. We put tags into every possible pocket for journaling or hidden photos. Since I wasn't using mine for autographs, I covered all of the pages with the pretty patterned paper from Urban Lily. I love this paper, and once made a layout of Vanessa using it. I'll have to post it one day soon!
Nic had a stamp specially made for this class, and I used it on the back of the album. It is a little postage type stamp with CSC4K and the class dates in the circle to help commemorate the event, and we each received one in our class kits. What a fun idea, and great little memory. We also used these Autumn Leaves stamps, which I couldn't resist buying too!

OK, so I've made it this far, the next step is actually finishing the album, and once I've done that I will post the finished product. In my other Nic Howard class, we made a pretty floral layout, and I've just printed the photo for that, so stay tuned for the end result soon!
