So remember about a million years ago when I went to Kauai? And I had big plans to create a album while I was there? I wanted to share some pictures of the album:

The covers were Kolo photo box dividers that I punched holes in and joined with book rings.

I used tags to separate the days : stamped the date on the front and wrote what we did that day on the back.

The “guts” of the book are all sorts of things: business cards, tickets, restaurant coasters, postcards, napkins and of course, polaroids. It was great to have a polaroid camera on the trip because I could just snap a photo and stick it in.

Which is excellent. As I have yet to get a single digital photo (or my rolls of film) printed yet.
