- Each month we take a picture or two of something we did or something our family did
- We create 2 layouts exactly alike. Put one in our scrapbook, set the other aside.
- In December, we send the duplicate layouts that we set aside all year to each other as our Christmas gift.
- Then we add those pages to our album.
For my first page, I cheated a little. Instead of using pictures of something we've done in January, I just chose 3 random pictures from the recent past. I wanted to give an overall feel that our family travels near and far often, and that we love having all types and kinds of adventures. Next time I won't try to squeeze so many photos onto one page though. I would much rather have a lot more die cuts and decorating than I was able to fit on this page, but hey, I've got all year to create more pages.
I left this image rather large for uploading here. If you'd like a closer look, you can click on the image and see a much larger photo of it.

Oh... almost forgot to tell you.... I'll be doing a give away next week. No challenge involved, just a chance to win a fun crafting item by leaving a comment on that post. I'm not sure what day I will get it posted, but when you see it, be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win.
