Capture all your Summer Memories with this Album

I hope you are having a wonderful summer! What fills your days? Where have you gone? Who have you spent it with? If you have created some fun memories, now is that time to capture them with this cheerful summer album kit! 

I’ve created this bright and cheerful mini-album to help you celebrate the good times you’ve had this summer. It is exclusively available through my website and you can choose to make it on your own or attend one of my classes in August.

Each kit includes:

  • Black mini-album with 10 spiral bound 4″ x 6″ memory protector pages
  • Several 4″ x 6 and 3″ x 4″ base pages (solids and patterns)
  • Coordinating sticker sheets
  • Vellum, chipboard and cardstock die cut pieces

When you order the kit, you will also get a guide with photos of sample pages. Although the photos will give you ideas and inspiration, you are free to mix it up and make pages that fit your style and photos!  Here are a few of of the sample pages:

There is no cutting required other than cropping your photos. You will just need your favorite adhesives to assemble. This is a great project for all ages!

Options: Attend a Workshop or Order the Kit!

I’ll be teaching this album as a classon August 20 & 22 at First Baptist Church in Arnold. Sign up to make albums with your kids or grandkids and you’ll be making even more memories as you craft together! (Children under 12 need to be accompanied by an adult.)

However, because everything is ready to assemble, this is a project that requires little instruction. If those dates don’t work or you are not local, you can order by selecting the “distance” option when you “sign up”. Price includes shipping within the US!
