An oldie, but a goodie...

Dates to Remember Album

...I made this album, oh say 5 years ago.  It's mainly Crate Paper theme sets and journaling cards from 7 gypsies I think.  I made it to keep track of birthdays, anniversaries, special dates.  I found it upstairs tonight in my basket of scrap mini albums and decided to resurrect it and update it. 

Here's some inside pages..

August page

November page...love the turkey!

June page...I really liked how these flowers turned out.

it's fun to look back and see your old work and how

your scrapbooking has evolved.

My Easter Album

I was inspired to create this album after seeing it on TV (DIY Network....gotta love ya!!!)

Easter Album

3 Bugs in a Rug Little Chicks

This is a trifold album that closes with a magnet

 (they are under the circles...great way to hide an unsightly black magnet!)

the center inside is 9 envelopes glued back to back to make pockets.

I call it my "easter-folio".  Each pocket is filled with a

double sided insert that you can cover with your pics.

There are also journaling spots on the back.

I used regular colored index cards to create the journaling spots.

Easy and inexpensive. 

The tabs are a flower punch, stapled up top and

staggered through the "easter-folio".

Hope you enjoyed this project!

A month of memories!

Calender full of ideas!

I made this fun calender for the month of June.  What a great idea to use as an opening page for a months worth of layouts!  It will help you keep track of events during the month and then help you scrap them later when you develop your pics.  All the "days" have little journaling cards so you can just write in what happened each day! 

I used mainly supplies from Memory Works:

3 Bugs in a Rug:  Savannah theme set
Jenni Bowlin
Pebbles chips

and a few other items from my stash!

Hope this inspires you!
