A 2017 Keepsake Album!
We are loving our Design Team's wonderful albums for 2016 and 2017! Today, Pam Bray shares a brilliant Keepsake Album for 2017 using various collections and lots of beauty! She even has a tutorial below. Let's take a look:
“I enjoy creating an album that I call my Year in Review. It helps me to pick some of my favorite photos each month of our adventures throughout the year. I can easily place the photos, journal entries and other small items in the album for our family and friends to look through at the end of each year. This year I am using a mix of Graphic 45 Place in Time and Children’s Hour to create my 2017 Year in Review Album. I think that both collections flow nicely together and will be a wonderful keepsake for 2017.” ~Pam
Tip: Create small pockets to place tags, journal blocks or small photos in using scraps of designer paper.
Tip: Create waterfall pages from scraps to add those extra photos to each page.
Tip: Staple small ribbon to the top of tags to give an extra texture to the tags.
