"BIRTHDAY" Mini word Album

 

My only cousin is turning 40 years old on the 10th of this month.. She is having a big party Saturday and I really wanted to make her something super special..  I adore how this came out and might have to make myself one almost exactly like it...LOL  :O)
Oh! great way to put your old cereal boxes to good use.. I cut the base of the album using 4 cereal boxes, the backs and fronts..

Here are some close ups and all of the details:


I have ONNEA written on the left side of this page, which in Finnish means "Congrats!"..
I also found some excellent Birthday quotes from Scrapbook.com which I copied and pasted onto my Word program and then played around with the fonts and printed them, either onto cardstock or printer paper.
