One of my goals this year is to do a better job with keeping up with my blog...so here we go. :)
Today I was starting on my Project Life album. I'm not planning on creating anything like the "real" Project Lifers do...my album isn't going to be made up of two pages per week or anything set like that. I'm planning on converting my scrapping style (for the most part) and kinda doing things on the fly. No set number of photos per week/month...just whatever pics I end up with. A few months ago, some friends and I ordered all of the new SN@P! items (Simple Stories). I broke out those items and started looking through my January pics and discovered that unfortunately, I had some awesome 4x6 VERTICAL pics that couldn't really be cropped down to the 4x4 size. (The 6x8 SN@P! page protectors do not have a vertical 4x6 pocket. I was going to use the horizontal pockets and just have the photos in there facing the same way and the album would have to be turned to view the pics). I have a pack of 6x6 American Crafts page protectors that I keep picking up because they keep falling off the shelf they're on. I looked over at them (on the floor), picked them up and had a lightbulb moment...first off they actually fit into the SN@P! binder. (Score!) So I measured 4" over (a smidge more because I know I can't sew straight) and ran them through my sewing machine. Now I have a vertical 4x6 protector for my photos. They aren't the 6x8 size (but I love that look anyway), so it works for me. Here's some photos to give you a better idea of what I did:
Happy Scrappin'!
