2011 Family Album

2011 - My version of "Project Life".  I can't do things the easy way so here is my 11 x 8.5 landscape version of our 2011 family album that would work in a My Publisher photo book. I know some of my white spaces are awkward in this format but it works for me.  This book took me about 3 weeks to create.
My girls are grown, married and live out of state so my picture taking sporadic and I have more some months than others. I fill in with phone photos they share, facebook photos from our extended family and photos of nature in my area.
Layouts were modified on an 8 x 10 base from Project Life digi templates purchased at Jessica Sprague.
Design elements are from:
Becky Higgins Project Life Cobalt kit.
Elle’s Studio Chic journaling tags at Jessica Sprague
Splendid Finns Eclectic mix journal cards two at Jessica Sprague
Title/front cover page and a few layouts were created using Cathy Z’s monthly templates.
Other digital pages added to this book were from classes taken at www.jessiasprague.com or my own designs using templates, papers and skills learned from her website.

December 2010





This album is from 2010 and I've finally finished it in 2012.  I am slow but sure and I have printed several of these pages already. Most of the time it is the journaling slows me down and I appologize now for all journaling errors! (Sorry Krysta!) This album shows only "highlights" of the year.  It was a busy year with summer travel and trips to Texas and Nashville with Krysta.

All layouts are digi and several of the papers are from http://www.jessicasprague.com/

I realized while posting that I used this picture of Sid in July.  He is so handsome that when he smiles "naturally" it reminds me of when we met 33 years ago!  August 2,  2010 was our 30th wedding anniversary.
