The final camp installment

I'm sure by now you've had enough camp projects but until my swaps are received, I don't have a lot of new things to post. I am busy working on August swaps for VC_Rocks, the best SU group out there. We're having our 10th anniversary this year and it's been so much fun this summer.

What we have here is a small covered composition book, a decorated tin and the accordion file folder album from yesterday. Everything is decorated with retired DSP in colors my daughter likes. The story on the tin is that it's empty, except for a poem that explains even though the tin LOOKS empty it's really filled with hugs and kisses for her in case she was home sick.

Camp Projects

I knew I wanted to make some kind of album for Katie to bring with her to record names and contact info, yearbook style signatures and various other first time at camp memories. Because of time and supplies on hand, I chose an accordion file folder album. I was up until 2:00am the day she was going to camp and still didn't get everything I wanted to done. I wanted folders entirely covered with decorative paper but in the end, sleep won. The following photos show the album and it's inserts. More small camp projects to follow.

A big thank you to my friend Kari who shared a memory book made for her in 1975. I used many of the ideas from her book for the insert pages shown below.
