an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.
Better late than never I always say. As I was putting this together yesterday I kept thinking it was already August. No need to rush the rest of July out the door, Elise.
Text close-up. Fonts are Optima & Bead Chain.
See January, February, March, April & May.
Album by the awesome folks at Kolo.
I love how this is coming together. Seeing as you are half way through the year, do you think you want to do something like this again next year? I would be interested to know if you like this format and want to stick with it or if you want to change it up the next time around.

How do you decide between what goes in the summer album and what goes in the monthly album?

There is some overlap, for sure. A lot of the photos are the same. Basically, the summer book has no rules about what gets included. This album does though – it has to have bread photos details, it has to have a photo of me on the month opener and it has to have all the projects that I completed for 26 Projects. So after that, always just throw in a few extra things like vacations. 🙂

I would do it exactly the same next year. But I hear the Kolo Catalina albums are now being made differently – the plastic does not go all the way to the rings. I am going to look into that. If I can get my hands on a similar album, I will buy one for next year. 🙂

I just got some refills that are the ones that go all the way to the rings. Check in the Refills & Tools section.

I love the simplicity of this. I can’t help but think how great it will be to look back through this in a couple of years 🙂
