My Everything Corner

Hi there Birgit, this post is for you. You mentioned you were interested in seeing a bit of my scrapbooks. The albums I use for the kids are Creative Memories. I just love the quality of their products, but they are not economical, so for the big album with 300 photos, I purchased an album from a department store for $20, and filled it up completely. My style is very simple, minimalist compared to some.  The Creative Memories albums pages all have protective sleeves, and you start with a 12by12 blank slate, so layout possibilities are endless. I try to fit in at least 6 photos per layout. These albums also lay perfectly flat, so they are very nice to look through. The quality of Creative Memories cannot be beat.

Our Yukon trip back in July produced a lot of photos.  So, that's what I'm working on. I don't order my prints until the New Year for two reasons.

But during sale time, they're only $.10 a print which adds up to a very affordable $30! Reason number 2 - I don't have time during the warm months to scrapbook. That's gardening time. What' really taking the time in completing this album is the journaling. A quick calculation has me guessing there will be at least 20,000 words to tell the story of our road trip. Roughly the number of words in a novella! Do you have any projects on the go?
