Documenting our everyday life is the best. I love having a place to add all the photos and stuff of our day. Switching things up and creating individual monthly albums this year has been just awesome so far. I've got a good little system down so the process is fast and easy!!
This month, I decided to switch up my sizes a little and go with a smaller book....a 4x4 WRMK album. I feel in love with this mini albums as soon as I saw them and thought they would be perfect for documenting the everyday. I was also kind of obsessed with the 2x2 transparent DOW cards in the Cirque Project Life kit and knew I wanted to use those in my February album!!
See...aren't those transparent cards just so awesome? I backed mine with white card stock and then stitched them into place so they wouldn't slip around. Love!
You can read more about my process over on the Studio Calico blog today!! I also have a quick walk through video of my album because...well....because I love making walk through albums and being able to share the details of each page! Sometimes a photo doesn't do a project justice, right?? I'm super excited to share this next book with you and I can't wait to see what is in store for March!!
I used lots of the Cirque Project Life kit, as well as Flying Trapeze, High Wire and Ringmaster Add-ons. All of the supplies are so versatile and really can work on any kind of project. I love mixing in "scrapbook" products in my Project Life albums!!
If you haven't created one of these 4x4 mini books, I cannot recommend them highly enough! They are so cute and so fun to work with! And so easy! The pages comes together in a snap!!
And that's the first half of my February book! I'll be back to share the rest of the month in a few weeks!! Thanks so much for stopping by and hanging out with me today!!
Love your album! Thanks for sharing ;)
ReplyDeleteLove!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust awesome. I took the mini book class by Marci Penner last year and it was my fave class to date. Love the format, the size, the tiny 2x2 photos, square shapes, all of it really. I'm currently working on another one and cannot get enough! But I love how you are using it for your PL format. Brilliant!
ReplyDeletewow... just wow. makes me want to do a scrapbook that way. thanks for sharing & inspiring us.
ReplyDeleteI loved this so much I literally drove out in an ice storm to get the album and pocket pages. I already do standard 12x12 so i think this will be a snapshot of photos that don't make project life. I may even do a year in the life for each of my kids. Thanks for the video-AWESOME!!!!
