Weekend Mini Album Update

Hi, everyone! Sarah here with an update to my Weekend Mini Album post that I shared a couple of weeks ago. The May BYOC has been such a great collection to use for this project and I just love how the album turned out.

Here is the (mostly) finished album. I love how fat it is and how much I was able to document in such a tiny book. Unfortunately, creating it wasn’t without it’s hiccups. When I got back home after our vacation and began transferring my photos I found that my SD card had become corrupted in the process and I lost about half of my photos. Fortunately, my sister in law had taken quite a few similar photos as me so I was able to use quite a few of her photos to supplement what I had managed to salvage.

I haven’t had a chance yet to stitch the binding, so it’s still bound with a rubber band. I have to say I was impressed by how well this worked as I was documenting and adding photos to my trip. I didn’t need to rearrange my pages at all but I think I will use this system in the future to allow for that flexibility.

I found that that backs of the pocket pages were a great background to place extra photos. I love the addition of color and was able to use so many of the great embellishments in this album.

I sized the pockets to fit journal cards (so many great ones in the store). This ended up being such a fun way to add photos and journaling.

The pocket page even ended up being a great size to hold my badge from the convention that we attended over the weekend.

I love how much journaling room my notebook pages that I printed gave me.

More fun embellishments from the collection!

We had such a fun weekend in St. Louis and I’m so glad I’ll always have this album to remember all of the little details. Having the preconstructed album definitely made the process of documenting the trip so much easier!
