Hi, everyone! I am making a mini album for my (pregnant) friend who I just went to a Beyonce concert with (it was amazing, so if you are a fan and have a chance to go, DO IT!). I wanted to make a cover on yellow cardstock (her latest album is lemonade) or patterned paper that says "beignet's first beyonce concert" (beignet is what she's calling her bun in the oven). The inside is modeled like this mini album: citrustwistkits.blogspot.com/2016/05/mini-album-tutorial-with-mira.html and will be bound with a ring on the top right left. My first thought was to cut the title out of the yellow card stock and leave the words as negetaive space, then make the next page a sewn up pocket page with confetti from the concert but now I'm not so sure I like the negative cutout words! The album consists of 8 4x6 pages. Do you guys have any ideas for me? |

What a cute idea! I love the idea of cutout words with confetti showing through. What if you only cut out one of the words really big and use Thickers or something for the other words to really set off the one with the confetti? I can't wait to see what you create.

No ideas for you, but I'd love to see what you do with it.

Thanks, guys! I found a free font that looks like Beyonce's album cover font like this  I might cut out "lemonade" and stamp or thicker or silhouette cut out the "beignet's first beyonce concert" to stick to the front. I will definitely post up what I come up with! the fact that I take photos for my blog is the only reason I'm not making 2 of this album so I can keep one! |

Hi, everyone! I finished the album! I came back to post a photo of the cover and I will do a blog post on the whole thing once I get a binder ring to hold it together  Thanks for your advice!  |

It's adorable. I seriously laughed about you grabbing all the confetti. I'm sure your friend will be delighted with this gift.
