Creating

It's been a long time since I showed you any scrapbooking, what with Christmas and the projects I created to share with others.  I have been working on my December Daily album, as outlined by Ali Edwards, and today I finally finished it!!  Here are a few images - 


the covers are clear acrylic pages and this one has a rubon on it.  You can see the first page underneath it.



And then some random pages - the focus is on the pictures and stories throughout.  I used my blog entries for some of the journaling.


This page has more technique on it than most of them.


And even though the color is washed out, I like these 2 pages that just tell some of our stories of the month.  It was a great project and it will be wonderful to look back on this album every year to recall and compare.  I think I'll try to do it again!

  1. I've never gotten into the scrapbooking but I'm sure it's fun. I did keep scrapbooks of our travels when we traveled the 4 years in our RV. But not the fancy stuff you scrapbookers do!!

  3. I really like the idea of the hole punches and having the pages in a file. I keep enlarging the photos trying to get some hints on how you get certain looks. Very nice. You are giving a lesson without knowing it. I like how you keep it focused - not all crammed with competing designs and info. Hmmm - very nice, Crystal.

  4. It looks great! I can't wait to see the whole thing. Would you do it again? I like that you included blog journaling as well as added your own writing at the time. Your great grandchildren will one day love reading about you and what was important and special for you.

  6. Your blog makes everything look easy. How did you get started? And what ideas do you have for people like me who have so little craftiness?

  9. You're very clever and these are so pretty. I just never got into scrapbooking, but I certainly ooh and aah over the talents of others.
