Still working away...

I'm still working away at my albums. I've got quite a few on the go, with the kids individual albums as well as my sisters wedding album (still a work in progress but getting there fast), Australia and my new project life!

Firstly Australia:

I've done my latest trip in a 'project life style' using some Kaisercraft paper I bought while out there. It's organised and journalling etc will be added soon. As I still have photos in a drawer from my first trip out there in 2002 (I think) it will be the quickest trip organised even if it was a year ago. Here are a couple of pics, starting with the title page.


Then we have a couple from our afternoon tea.


Bondi beach comes next, here I do have an additional American crafts page protector in as I took quite a few photos.


My day out in Melbourne, again with an additional 'smaller than 12x12' page protector to fit in all those photos and provide some variety.



I do have lots more pages in the album of course, and the photos I'm afraid are poor as I took them under the lamp, but it gives you an idea.


I was going to wait and start a project life album in 2014 but I realised I was missing things now....so I've started. Nothing like having loads of different projects on the go at once hey! Here is a snippet of the organisation.

The first page has been done as the suggestion in the core kit and for now it will stay that way, I may embellish the pages at some point, but for now I'm glad it's there.


Biggest event this year comes first....my GORGEOUS nephews arrival. :D



Then we have a variety, birthdays, concerts and other snippets of life....all dependant on what I'd photographed. I've not worried about getting each week so far this year but I'm hoping going on from now I can get them done at a page or 2 a week.


Most of the photos are now in the correct order, I need to print out a couple more I've nabbed from the kids phones and journal the events, but  it's getting there. The kids have said they'll write about events they've been to also, so thats a good way to preserve there handwriting and make it a family affair.


The last picture is of my book case now, as you can imagine it's gained a few more albums....


I'll try to get some more of the kids album pictures up soon as I've had a few questions over them, but I do need daylight for that and I am a night owl. Maybe on my next mammoth session I'll get some, as I still need to dissect Kate's nursery sugar scrapbook *shudder*

It's all looking great. I think I need to go ice skating with your tribe to get some pictures for my album!
