A new mini album project


Tania is hosting a new project challenge at RAKScraps - Mom's Advice Mini-Album. I'm looking forward to participating in it and making what I hope will be my first digital gift album (I'll have them printed). I'm doing them as 7 x 5 layouts and will have them printed at Sam's. I'll figure out later how I want to do the presentation - make an "album" or buy a mini album. I dunno. Will have to shop around at the craft and scrapbook stores and poke around on DIYNetwork.net to see what I can find.

I'm also going to work on a little mini album for Elizabeth Jane - this one will be 3 x 3. I'm going to use the little scrapbooks they sell at Wal-Mart for 94¢ each and some Ralph Lauren paint chips. We've been diligently working on her colors. Now that she's moved passed the 'everything is green' stage. She's doing well at recognizing colors but I think I'll engage her help in making this little book - choosing what gets cut out of magazines. She loves to help work on scrapbooks and asks to help on Grammie and PawPaw's all the time. It'll be fun time that will make me want to pull my hair out and string her up happy that I'm passing on one of my hobbies to my daughter.

Love your page for the Mom's advice album. Maybe I will get to work on mine today- the shelf project and cleaning up Brenna's room some more is on hold after all ;)

Your color scrapbook for Elizabeth sounds cute. You will, of course, have to share how it comes out!
