I turn 41 today. Yikes! Age is just a number right? As you look around the web and through scrap magazines, there are lots of examples of pages for kid's birthdays, not that many for adults. Since until recently I wasn't scrapping kids, I do have several examples of adult birthday pages to share. For the last few years I have made the effort to document my birthday as the old memory is going and I've got to get the details down!
This one from two years ago focuses on the delicious cake my friend made, and the flowers I got from my husband.
This 12x12 is from the same occasion and was published in the CK book 50 Moments. In this page I talked about my wishes for the following year.
Last year I spent my birthday back home in Barbados. Not as exciting as you would think, since Lucas wasn't with me, and I spent most of the day dealing with the local DMV. In the evening, determined to salvage the day I went to the beach. One of the benefits of being on a small island! I did two separate pages to document the event.
This one tells the entire story of my day.
This one is a fun take on bullet point journaling and a To Do list.
A few days after my birthday I had some friends over and this last page documents part of that occasion.
Notice that I scrap a variety of sizes. I use the American Crafts D-ring albums which can hold all sizes of pages. These will all go into my About Me album. Also did you notice that only one page has a photo of me? Since I am usually the one behind the camera (something we are all familiar with), I rarely have photos of myself taken during events. In that case I use photos of representational objects instead.
If you haven't scrapped pages for adult birthdays give it a try! If you have any questions about products or techniques used in these pages feel free to ask in the comments.
