Project for January 25th 2012- People I Love

These 4x12 albums are one of my favorite sizes for using real 4x6 photos without a lot of trimming.

The format of this album is chipboard covers, with cardstock pages and insert pages. The album pages have LOTS of stamped pieces- but you could just as easily transform that into using up all of your misc. Valentine embellishments. I rarely have Valentine photos so I like to focus on the concept of people I love, places I love, etc for Valentines Day.

For my album, it is from a class I taught several years ago and has actual- yes wait for it -

PHOTOS! in it. Amazing.

There are also some different insert pages that I used, I love adding pockets for journaling or even more photos.

Have fun putting together an album of the people you love- such a great theme for a Valentines project!

Project for January 18th 2012

Our project for this week is a cute 6x6 mini album with a sheet of printable titles and quotes to use. I used 12 x 12 papers that were cut up into 6x6 pieces, but you could also use a 6x6 paper pad for this project- it would be really cute.

Each of the pages are made from cardstock and decorated with patterned paper and some simple embellishments. You could definitely turn up the volume and add LOTS more detail for this project.

Have a great week!

post script: I had this post all ready to go last week and then WHAM snow storm and WHAM no power and then WHAM no internet for days and days. So here it is. I think a nice bright colored album is just perfect after a week of storms and no electricity. -Kerry
