Since then, those plans changed and now, four months later, I finally finished Morgan's album. As I was collecting the photos + the notes I had been taking, it sort of transformed and became a mini about what her life was like during late spring/early summer of 2012, not just "a week in the life."
As you look through the photos below (feel free to click on them to enlarge and see in better detail), you'll see I used a big mix of products. A good amount of new stuff and a LOT of old stuff. Using old product, specifically the patterned paper and chipboard that I've been hoarding for years, was a big goal with this project. I had plenty of fun stuff I still loved to fit the girly theme and the bonus is, the one person this little book is for isn't going to say "Mommy, isn't this Basic Grey paper older than me?" HA! Well, I hope not. :)
Product links for the goodies you can still buy are at the end of this post. The photo-heavy portion of this post starts now :
There you have it! The best part has been watching Morgan look through her mini and ask "what is this picture from?" and "what does this say?" She loves that this little book is all her. I can't wait to tackle Parker's book next. The album base is done and the photos are in. Now I just need to add the journaling and the cute stuff. I really hope to get that done by the end of the month!
Thanks so much for looking!
