Take a Pix Board Book Album stands up like a picture frame...cool!
We shared our excitement about working with Board Book Albums a couple of weeks ago, and we?re happy to share with you our Homeschool Themed Take Your Pix Board Book Album Design. Surprisingly, this was a 9.5 hour weekend project that started at 8pm Saturday night. We had NO idea how much fun we were going to have creating this project, after all my daughters shared all the reasons why they?re trying to get me to start digital scrapbooking just yesterday! It was quite addictive--with only 22 pages to add single pictures, we average ~30 minutes per page. And, I?m telling you--this was a rush job!
Creating the ?We Love 2 Homeschool? Board Book Album
My girls were so invested emotionally, artistically, and entrepreneurial-ly (is that a word??). When they knew creating this Board Book was an opportunity to be one of three selected to make the Board Book Albums Design Team, the girls were hooked! Honestly, there is a market, so they definitely are right on the money-literally!
Undoubtedly, whenever we go scrapbook shopping, we?ve always seen the ?School Themes? with school buses, and lunchboxes, ?A+ Student?, ?Teacher?s Pet? and other popular ?School? images and phrases?but, NEVER anything Homeschool Related.
So, this was our opportunity to Creatively Design a Homeschool ?Scrapbook? Board Book Photo Storyline.
Our Homeschool Design Team in Action?
The Organized Chaos of Scrapbooking
- I was the main designer, mastermind, creator.
- JuJu, our 10 yo was the steady, patient hands to punch out letters from the sheets, cuts on stickers, rub-on?s etc.
- GiGi, our 9 yo was our organizer, cleaner-upper, calm, extra third and forth hand to hold this thingy this way, this doo-dad that way, this page ever-so up or down, depending on which direction we were moving the book around.
- JoJo, our 8 yo, was the constant ooo-er, ahh-er, cheering us on, the OhMi?s!, and awwweee-some?s to keep us grounded. She was mainly in charge of color coordination, organizing the stickers, keeping our messy pile (yes, that picture of our table in action) very organized. That mess had its areas and designations, so she organized our chaos and basically knew where anything was that we needed to. So, she proudly was our tools and props passer-over-er.
Our Homeschool Design Team?s Surprise Ending
The night before; the first few pages really impressed hubby, and he appreciated that we were finally piecing together our many abandoned pictures. However?
We found out at 3:30pm that he had to leave for a business trip within hours!
We were frantically preparing him to leave, yet we secretly made it a goal to finish and sneak this awesome personalized homeschooling project-turned-story-album-book into his suitcase as a great stand-up colorful picture frame for his time alone.
It also was grounding us all; because well--can you imagine our mess?the clutter alone was an eye-soar and definitely in the way and not conducive to moving easily around in a hustle. We got a few comments of our mess and in our humble defense, we kind of said very little admitting it would be worth it?so you be the judge!
InshaAllah, God willing, this inspires you to be create and design something special, because well, it took us over 9.5 hours to make and over 4 hours to produce this video since we never expose our faces online. Since, we were in a rush to get this book into hubby?s suitcase, so GiGi took these pictures (okay for a 10yo), my 11 yo did all the work with formatting the PowerPoint presentation, we had to upload it 3 times because of typos and wanted to decrease the content so you can read it all during the 7-seconds on each slide. Please let us know what you think!
*It?s best to watch this in Full-Screen, so you can see the details.
As you can tell, this whole post is a homeschool project! Needless to say I blurt ?Never Again!? The girls eagerly asked ?Board Book or the Slideshow??we need 2 more, for each daughter and to advance through the years.?
Now it?s Your Turn!
