Supplies:
I realize that's a massive supply list, but I really did use bits and pieces of all of those items! One reason I love storing my supplies, especially embellishments, by color is that it really helps me to mix products from different manufacturers and collections just by looking for pieces with common colors. When I started pulling products for this album, I used the colors in the Lakeside collection by Pebbles as a jumping off point, and everything else was selected to coordinate with it.
You can read all about my design process for the album here, but in a nutshell I kept the format for the album simple- each two-page spread has a single, unembellished 4x6 card on one side and a 4x6 mini layout on the other, with each one documenting a little something about me. After I finished with the photos and embellishments I was having a hard time deciding where to put the journaling, so in the end I simply typed it all up and put it into an enveloped adhered to the back page of the album.
This album was a fun way for me to use up some of those 4x6 journaling cards that I felt were really "me," but that I rarely have space for in my weekly Project Life layouts- it's kind of cool to see them all in one place.
