This was such a fun project. I used a 4×6 photo album. On the left side I designed a journaling block and used some cute, aged Christmas paper. I left the right side blank, easy to slip in a 4×6 photo. What a great place to keep those treasured Christmas moments from one year or many years, of your children’s lives or from your own special memories growing up.
This method of scrapbooking is called Photo Album Scrapbooking. You can learn more about it here and here and here.
I’ve been trying to come up with a way to document our years, some sort of year in review album. At first I was thinking about a few pictures from each month, but there are some months I didn’t take many pictures and I really didn’t want 12 pages for each year. So, I think I will try to group the pictures the way I do my other scrapbook pages, by categories: Things We Did, Places We Went, People We Saw.
Over the next few months I will show you how I will put together my Year in Review album, from selecting pictures to finding the words.
Recently I partnered with RocketLife to help you create photo books, mugs, key tags and more. It’s an easy-to-use program with no login and fast uploads. Your photos and projects are stored on your own computer. RocketLife’s “Smart Arrangement Technology” can do all the work for you — or have fun and make each project yourself.

If you are a digital scrapbooker, you can upload and use your own digital backgrounds and embellishments
In upcoming posts I’ll share with you how I use custom albums and photo books in my memory preservation.
Here is my latest flip album, Cute as a Bug. I made it for a raffle for a local moms’ group, TriadMommies.com.
This was so much fun to make. It can hold 8 4×4 photos and has plenty of journaling spots. Summer photos, children playing, even pets would all look really cute in this album.
Wikipedia tells us that the first Friday of June is National Doughnut Day. In 1938, National Doughnut Day was started as a Salvation Army fundraiser to honor the women of World War I who served doughnuts to the soldiers in France.
Today, some of the doughnut locations here in the US are giving away free doughnuts.
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts is giving away a free doughnut to every customer that visits a participating Krispy Kreme store.
I’ve heard Dunkin’ Donuts is giving away a free doughnut with the purchase of a beverage.
