Scrapbook

A hand-made scrapbook page on kraft board: press the shutter of an instant camera and your photos drop in, tape themselves down and develop before your eyes.

A playful, hand-crafted invitation built like a real scrapbook page — recycled kraft board, a paper-lace doily, washi tape in candy stripes and polka dots, label-maker tape with raised letters, stickers, a postage stamp and an admit-one ticket. Before the tap, your names sit on a torn sheet above a cream instant camera with your initials on a sticker. Press the shutter: the flash fires, a print whirs out of the slot and is flicked onto the page, three more prints drop in and are taped down, and all four develop from blank chemistry into your photos (or, until you upload yours, original hand-illustrated snapshots). Inside: a photo-cornered invitation card, your story on a ruled notebook page under a paperclip, the families on manila shipping tags, a print you shake to develop, a stitched cardstock countdown, every event on its own index card with directions, calendar and dress code, an RSVP card tucked in a kraft envelope that gets a rubber 'See you there!' stamp, and a last page signed off by hand.
