You have them. I know you do. Those leftover Lego bricks that somehow didn't make it into the kits you and your kids built? You have those photos too, just sitting on your memory card or (gasp!) in a box somewhere. The ones you took while you were assembling those Lego kits. So what's a GeekMom to do with all those pieces and pictures? Well, if you're also a scrapbooking geek like I am, you create a scrapbook page, of course!
This past April, we took the kids to Lyndhurst Mansion (Castle) for someLego Fun. I didn't get to take many photos, because they weren't allowed. Before I realized this (a sign would have been nice), I did manage to snap a few. And there they were, sitting in my photo wallet, just waiting for their chance to get into a scrapbook.
It was time to give them their moment. I decided to go with a linear design on this page to mimic the design of Lego, and I even added an embossed texture to the title for effect. You can find out more about how I did this by visiting the ProvoCraft website.
The final touch, of course, was to add some Lego bricks to the layout. I grabbed a handful of the thin blocks, because the thick ones would have been too bulky in my album. You could, however, use the thicker blocks on picture frames, collages, boxes, and all sorts of other crafts. To adhere them to the page, I used Glue Dots lines. Those hold the Lego bricks really well, so make sure that you've placed them exactly where you want them before you press them down. Trust me: once they're on, they aren't coming off. (Ask me how I know this.)
So, what are you waiting for? Snag those spare Lego bricks before the kids beat you to it. Or, better yet, have them help you add them to a scrapbook page about them. My kids think it's very cool to have Lego in our scrapbook. So do I.
