vintage journal

Here's a quick altered composition book that I made for a co-worker for Christmas. I love how it turned out. I inked and stamped some of the pages. I also added some scripture vellum through out the pages and made a pocket on the inside cover. I almost want to keep it! :)

In loving Memory

Well, since Cathy gave me the bind it all as my birthday gift this year, I've been going CRAZY with it! I've made soooo many things with it! This project is album that I made of my mother. She passed away on Mother's Day 2006. I wanted to create an album that I could treasure as well as my children when I'm gone. It is very special to me since I don't have many pictures of my mother. I included facts, like my parents wedding day, birthdays, date of deaths, etc. On the last page I am going to type up a little page of stories and etc. That is the only thing left to do.

I used the Affinity paper pack from hobby lobby. Along with the matching Affinity brads, ribbons, etc.

For Internet safety reasons, I can't post every page because some have personal info on them.

In this envelope I have letters and cards from mama. I cherish her hand writing now.

 In this envelope I have extra pictures.

SMASH

Here are 4 pages out of my smash album that I could post. I wished I could post the others but they have personal info on them. But you can get an idea of how I done mine. If you have made one I would love to see it, just share the link in the comment section or if you decide to make one I would love to hear that as well!

Ideas for your smash album:

I can be ANY theme you would like ( I did one about me)

Books you read

receipts

tags

pictures of your home, where you grew up

your camera (I did this one) how much it cost, etc.

Candy you like

pictures of items in the newspaper like eggs, milk, bread (how much they cost)

Your hobbies

family photos

Things you like, dislike

Bucket lists

random cool stuff

I could go on and on but you get the idea!

Happy Smashin' :)
