Fellow Scrapbookers and Disney Lovers I need your help! I have been asked to make a princess scrapbook as a follow-up to a little girls wish, and I need to get some help making the pages.
Charlottes Story:
Charlotte Anne Stokes, a 4-year-old little girl who is currently in remission from life-threatening cancer, made a wish to be a princess and have a party. Well, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan threw her quite the royal celebration. She was picked up in a horse-drawn carriage, taken to a golf resort for her royal feast, where she sat on her throne, overlooking the party. Over 1,000 people in the Detroit area came out to bow and curtsey to the little princess. It was all over the news and internet! (View more details at Detroit News (click on Photo Galleries then search News Galleries) or Charlotte's Wish
The Scrapbook:
I have been asked by the foundation to make a scrapbook for Charlotte and her family to help them remember their special day. I had originally thought it would be mostly Disney princesses, but the foundation has some other requirements. Im afraid that, financially, Im not able to do it all myself, and I dont want to turn this project away.
My Plea:
I am hoping to ask a few dedicated scrapbookers out there to help me out by creating a page or two for the book.
Guidelines:
I have already started a 12x12 album, so that is the only page size I can accept for this project. Charlottes favorite color is pink, and she loves all things fancy and relating to princesses (not just Disney), so those elements need to be incorporated into the pages, possibly including flowers, royal looking decorations, knights, white horses, crowns, castles, etc. I am hoping the pages will be very luxurious and girly! The foundation is requesting that some pages also incorporate 8x10 and 5x7 spots, since the family will likely get these size photos as well. They would also like a few spots for the parents to include journaling (possible on scrolls).
The pages need to correspond to the activities of the Princess big day:
1. Receiving her princess gown
2. Getting her hair done
3. Getting her crown
4. Riding in the limo
5. Horse and carriage ride
6. Parade
7. Princess Charlotte Anne Stokes day
8. Fairy godmother
9. A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes
I would like to receive all pages by Friday, December 10th. Please send me a PM, post here or email me at megan973@yahoo.com if you are able to help out by making a page or two. I would really apprecaite it, and I know that Princess Charlotte and her family will as well.
Thank you!
Megan
