One of the UFOs on my list for this year's 100 Day Project was to finish a 6x8 album about our long weekend in South Lakeland last Summer. I'd added a bunch of photos and then put it aside. To complete the album, I used journaling and filler cards from In a Creative Bubble and … Continue reading Lakeland Weekend Album
I treated the day like a Day on the Life entry and my key word was detail. I wrote the timed entries without much thought to structure. For our cast of characters, I promoted The Brainy One to The Doctor. 🙂 I couldn't resist including a photo of Tilly and part of a scrapbook page. … Continue reading Mass Observation Diary | 12 May 2021

The plan of one layout per month worked for February ... but there's two (related) spreads for March. 🙂 You've already seen Feb's spread in my Off the Grid post, but no matter. 🙂 For March, I began with when I received my jab. 🙂 As this will sit in the album opposite Pizza and … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2021 | February and March
The thing about making several pages using the same design is that they invariably end up in different albums, so nobody is any the wiser . 🙂 (And I am closer to having a full set of gap-free albums.) Having said that, these two are side-by-side in The Boy's album. But this one below now … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2021 | Filling in More Gaps
