A while back I shared my cover but for those who haven't seen it I did a bit of mixed media and finished with a coat of modge podge to protect it.
The first double page spread for January.
I filled my pocket pages with significant photos and some art work from my son.
I added in memorabilia from my trip to Anaheim.
I then added in some extra pages using this technique I shared here on Instagram.
Even my youngest son's kissing hand he made on the first day of school.
January was a big month so I also added in some extra photos in another pocket page . I stapled it to the top of the calendar page and it lifts up.....
To reveal more photos underneath.
The calendar page allows you to record a memory for each day. So quick and easy!
Then comes February. Here I share the double page spread with the prompts page on the left.
I added in some personal thoughts under my photo.
I used my round Epiphany Crafts tool plus the free printable from Heidi's blog to create this charm.
Next, using the same technique as above I added in a card I received in the mail from the lovely Jamie Pate.
I used an 8x10 plastic sleeve to hold my husband's valentines card he gave me.
Again my pocket pages hold important photos for the month.
The start of my memory keeping for February on the calendar page.
I used a circle punch to punch out parts of photos and added them into some of the dates.
I can't wait to share more as the year goes on.
Kim thanks for sharing such a special file. I love every bit.
