Seniors are required to complete the Senior Project on page 32 of the manual. Seniors exhibiting the one-page layout
for the fair exhibit will complete the Senior Project for the one-page layout.
The Scrapbooking album needs to be numbered and can be labeled using small stickers placed in the lower right
corner of the album as to not cover up the page.
The technique list needs to be placed on the inside front cover of the album (per page 5 of the manual). Label techniques per page as required.
Albums typically come with either (8) pages or ten (10) pages for a total of sixteen (16) or twenty (20) pages, front and
back. To make it easier, make sure you create sixteen (16) separate layouts, which will ensure that you have sixteen
(16) pages in your album.
When creating your project, whether it’s a single layout, two-page layout, or an entire album, it should be coordinated
and follow a theme, or be in chronological order. Your theme could be a championship game or fun 4-H event for
your single or two-page layout. Your album could be Christmas-themed, baby, your life story, or someone’s wedding.
Regardless of the theme, the events should follow some sort of timeline, such as baby years in order through present
years.
Journaling and titling are not the same. The title of your page should state in a few words what your page is about:
“CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!”, “BATHTIME”, “CHRISTMAS”, etc. Journaling is when you tell your story about the big game,
or something special that happened at Christmas that year, or a funny story about bathtime. Journaling tells the story
that you can’t. Journaling can be typed; however, at least one (1) journal entry per album must be handwritten.
When making folding cards, ensure that the theme is followed to the inside of the card.

Techniques:
Memorabilia:
Examples of memorabilia include a ticket to a concert, a map of Disneyland, a newspaper article, a smashed penny, a room
key from LEGO land hotel, etc. Memorabilia MUST be placed in an archival safe sleeve. The sleeve can be placed on the
same page as the photos. Memorabilia does not count as a page if it is just a sleeve with a newspaper, tickets, maps, etc.
Two-page layout:
The two-page spread within an album does count as part of your total sixteen (16) pages.
Photo Matting:
Simply place your picture on a piece of cardstock slightly larger than your picture. A double mat would be two pieces of
cardstock , each progressively larger than the other.
Dimensional Elements:
Simply adding foam squares to a die cut can instantly create dimension. Layering is a fast and easy way to create dimension. Cut onto a flower, add a ribbon, and add a rhinestone. Another way to gain dimension is to color a stamp, cut it out,
and then add a foam square to raise it from the page.
Inking/Stamping/Coloring:
Although similar, these techniques each bring something different to a page. Inking is simply utilizing the ink on paper
without a stamp. Inking can be done to the whole page, or just the edge (often called distressing) to create an aged look.
Stamping is the use of a stamp on either an acrylic or wood block. The use of coloring is even simpler. After stamping the
image or placing an outline sticker on a piece of cardstock, utilize archival safe marker (such a copics), colored pencils, glitter pens (such as Wink of Stella pens), or even Gelatos.
Create a Border:
Borders often include the title of a page and can be at the top or bottom, but are often found at the side of the page. On a
two-page layout, borders are sometimes found on opposite sides.
Chipboard:
Chipboard is a type of pressboard used for sturdier embellishments, typically an image. It is like the backing of a notepad
of paper. Chipboard is similar to a die cut , but it is purchased, not made, although some die cut machines can cut thicker
materials.
Embossing:
There are two types of embossing: wet and dry. Wet embossing is the act of stamping, applying powder, and then using
heat to melt it. Dry embossing can be done with a die cut machine using a plate or embossing to indent the image onto
the cardstock.

Using a die cutting machine, cut a shape out of your card cover.
This allows the receiver to see the inside of the card.
