Here is what I put together with the city minibook kit + some 4×6 (cropped to 4×4) photos of our town + a few extra paper scraps which ended up being cropped sections of my 2009 calendars. I have left off a few of the spreads that show our apartment building, street name, etc. The…

Originally, I planned to make a digital album for our honeymoon photos. It was going to be in the same format as our engagement and wedding albums and fit into a Russell+Hazel mini binder. I scrapped (no pun intended) this idea for a bunch of reasons : the photos from our honeymoon were taken with…

Back in February, I made a list of 25 things to do while 25. Now it's June, and I really have to get going if I want to get through everything. So far, I've got three items checked off. I am making a 6×6 scrapbook to "save" the photos and thoughts that go with each…

Summer mini book kits : now in the shop. All of my ordered pieces arrived today and I put my own book together. I am breaking the summer into four months (I think summer starts in May) and will be adding photos and ephemera into the book rings. This year I promise to keep up…

Last September, I started on a book to collect the fall. I shared the beginning, but never the end. Here is how the book turned out in October. I should have kept going through November, but in the hustle of life, I stopped. I did a book for summer, a book for fall and then…

I completed my holiday book early this week when I was finally back with my printer and able to get photos together. I have to say, traveling for two weeks did not make this book better. It made it just a little bit lame. But regardless, I am calling the book a success because IT…

The little book is getting bigger. I started with 25 pages + cover and am currently on page 10 of the original book. (I have added 10 additional pages into the bookrings so far.) I am not jotting something for everyday of December, but just sticking holiday thoughts, photos and stuff into the book rings.…
