And with today’s post, it’s official: I’m caught up with my year-long album project! It’s funny how when you buy into not having to save it all that you can complete pages quickly, without much stress and the result will be just the right amount of detail from life. Or at least that is my experience with this approach!
Number of photos taken in July: 318
Number of photos used for these pages: 26
Note: I blurred out a few faces out of respect for their mother, whose permission I do not have to share online.
Do you know how few selfies my hubby has taken over the years? I’m guessing you could count them on one hand. I had to include one of them from a bike ride he was on because he kind of nailed it.
This page is an example of two days spent hanging out with the same group of people. I decided to combine them all into one event page.
See that fairy lantern up there? Yeah. I MADE that. Sometimes I get crafty. I saw the link on Scrapbook & Cards Today’s Facebook page. My daughter said her inner 12-year-old was geeking out so she made a few with the kids she nannies.
Do you see this? An entire page devoted to Dan. WHAT? I know. Crazy.
One thing I’ve been doing the past few months is using a template with a shorter journal block because I just don’t have as much to say. That, my memory keeping friends, is called flexibility. And I’m loving it.
If you missed the rest of 2016, here’s the catch up:
January 2016
February 2016
March 2016
April + May 2016
June 2016

I am loving this class and method. I am up to mid-July which I cannot believe. I have to go back and add in the journaling but I love doing that all in one day sitting in a cozy coffee shop when the cool fall hits. Thanks Cathy. Awesome.
Cathy Zielske says
Oh man, I didn’t even think to do this on my laptop! Especially on a cool Fall morning! Walking up to my neighborhood coffee shop sounds heavenly.
Cathy Zielske says
Thanks, Carla! 🙂 It’s very liberating, for sure.
