I recently purchased a small Kaiser wooden basket, and when i got it out the other day, i realised it didn't have the slots to slot it all together, and as the shop was an hour away i certainly wasn't heading back.
Instead i have altered it into a little album for my photograph a day!!
Perfect size for 1 page of journalling and the opposite the photo. I have it all ready to go so that as i post each day i can journal as well, and at the end i will get the corresponding photos printed off and they just need to be added to the page.
The little handles i have made into a window by adhereing acetate under the paper, as well as adding a little welcoming window it will help to protect the pages.
I have made a little neighbourhood that reminds me of ours, our home is a highset Queenslander, not pink though lol!! The golf course is in the background with the little white golf ball and the putting green, with the trees and some raindots at the front as flowers.
White Bazzill pages inside already to go.
I have journalled in my own handwriting as well as adding borders with a thin black pen and colouring with tombow pens.
I have included the date on each journalled page and the opposite page is waiting for the photos to be added.
Hope you have been enjoying this as much as I - thanks for a great challenge Lesley :0)
For this project i used Heidi Grace A Little Birds Tale range of papers and some cloud 9 design raindot pink eyelets, Heidi Grace Clear Stamps Tags and Words, the Fiskars craft drill and fingertip control craft knife, hole punch and eyelet setter.
Enjoy your weekend
