I will be using the very clever "Mix & Match album" from Simple Stories, and the paper series "Summer Fresh" from Simple Stories as well. I will also add bits and bobs from my stash, to match my stories and the colours in the album.
The album pages are approx 6.5 by 8 inches, but the best thing with this idea is that it all comes with the pack. Sure you can add WHATEVER YOU WANT to your album, but if you don't have an evergrowing stash, there'll be lots to choose from in the pack.
This is what the album looks like:
Now, because I scrap quite frequently, and I also do Project Life, I had to have a think about what my theme for this book was gonna be. I dindn't really want to "double up", if that makes sense. I decided on something that I know my family is gonna LOVE - photos and stories about my kids around their birthdays! So my first installment shows my beautiful girls at birth.
Now, I haven't decided on what my front page is going to look like, or even the tab dividers inside the album, but here is what I have done so far:
It's a little hard getting good photos of plastic sleeves, but you get the picture.
What I love about Simple Stories paper is that they do just that - make it SIMPLE. You don't have to add a lot of extra decorations if you don't want to. So much freedom!
As you can see, I've decided to use my old typewriter in this album. I might also get my alpha stamps out, I like the "home made" feel that gives.
I've only just started this project, but I'm in love with it already. I'll be back in a couple of weeks to show you my next pages!

That's really cool, and at the end it will be a lovely gift to someone. I love the use of the old typewriter, I wondered how you got that to print in the exact spot... gorgeous colours, and as you say so SIMPLE
I love these pages for my PL and wondered how you were going to avoid the double up - its a great theme. :)
