practically every scrapbook page i have created in the last two years. and here they all are, stacked chronologically oldest at the bottom. every time i think i'm going to buy a few albums i open the cupboard door {in my dining room hutch} and then close it again. i think the biggest problem is that i have no idea what album to get. i have one american crafts 3-ring but the pages don't fit because i create so many 12x12 pages with items peeking off the page. one of these rainy days i'll do it. until then i'll just keep opening that door every week or two and add a few more pages. luckily there's another door on the other side if i fill this one.
make sure you check out my mini gift card with found paper envelopes tutorial up at elle's studio today. leave a comment and ask me a question and i'll answer on the elle's studio blog around the 24th of this month.
happy wednesday!
ps : ben's lots better and doing stunts {baseball slides} on our family room rug as i type. boy they rebound fast!
even though they are still in a pile...doesn't it give you a warm feeling inside to see how much you've done?
I have six FULL albums above my TV...(I love using the WeR Linen D-ring albums) and I like looking at the fullness of the albums almost as much as the actual layouts! Weird? I know...but, it's an accomplishment!

I am switching over to all AC binder albums! I love them. just wanted to share that I was talking Ashley Caulder a year or so about about albums because she tends to scrap off the page as well. she said she slits the page sleeves for openings. of course you have to plan for at least one side (left/right) that only has a very minimal amount sticking out. the binder album does give you some space for corners of things to poke through. anyway HTH!

That stack makes me smile. There's a lot of love and heart and soul in your cupboard. =) Happy Spring to you and your family.
