enJOY it

I decided to make my own photo album to hold my favorite photos. My very random collection of favorite photos. I took pure white A7 folded cards from Paper Source and cut them in half (to make two 5×7 white cards). Punched two holes and added some Kolo black photo corners. Cut a Hambly overlay into a cover and wrote in some details with an acid free pen. Normally I am all about the Sharpie, but decided to give it and all its acidity a rest for this project.

If all goes as planned, I will keep adding to this puppy until it is six feet high. And someday my kids will say, "Mom, I know you so well." And then I will say, "I know, right?"

    i had a really similar idea earlier today, related to my 365 (366?) project. i love how simple this is, though.

    dude. i love this.
    you are such a smartie.
    ps: have you tried american crafts slick writers? they roll and bleed a bit like a sharpie but are acid free.

    So, so, so cool. I love how the focus is totally on the pictures and your captions. I’d like to do this with my PotD shots!

    i love this idea. not just, love-it-glad-she’s-doing-it type love; like love-it-i-have-to-start-doing-this-now type love.
    ps the BF hates when I say “I know, right?” (but I do it anyways)

    Like everyone else that has commented, I love this project! This project and the polaroid project have been my favorite so far. You come up with the greatest ideas!
    I did think to myself though, “man, it’s like she has a camera hanging around her neck 24/7”. 🙂 Which makes me then wonder, what kind of camera are you using?
