Well, it’s been  while since I have posted anything.  How many of you have a love/hate relationship with your computers?  I DO!!!  I love it when it working properly, but hate it when it is not.  That being said, I am back up and running with creativity!  Several years ago, I decided I needed pockets to store the important things for my daughter, but be able to include them in her scrapbook photo albums.  I created pockets from scrapbook paper that slip into the clear paper covers in a scrabpook.

I made these pockets for each month of the year.  I printed a calendar for the cooresponding month so I could easily write down major events of the month.  You know how “Mommy mush brain” happens!?!  I never thought I would forget any milestones for my daughters, yet I have forgotten many!

I wrapped and glued paper around the sides and bottom to create the pocket.  I used month theme paper that was appropriate for the month.  I cut out parts of the decorated paper and glued it in strategic places to create a fun pocket.  Then, I glued pictures of my daughter from the month onto the pocket.

Happy scrapbooking…

“Wonder what I will come up with next”…

Have you ever had a photo album that you wanted to create, but couldn’t find the “perfect” album to use?  OR, the “perfect” album is ridiculously priced?  I have experienced both of these situations and decided to take matters into my own hands.  I purchase basic, inexpensive albums and have used maps, house plans, and photos to cover an existing album, and make it “one of a kind”.
