Create your own Everyday Life binder tabs using Artbooking

I love our Everyday Life albums! These not-so-mini Mini Albums would make Goldilocks happy: not to small and not too big.

Currently, you have two choices: Black & White Stripes or Sea Glass. (In August, a new color Bashful will be introduced!)

These versatile two-ring albums can become whatever you want them to be. Want to make a pint size photo album? Fill your binder with the 4″x6″ Memory Protectors (2 photos per side) and just slide your printed pictures in. Would you rather mix it up by alternating with journaling and titles? Fill some of the photo wells with 4×6 Picture My Life Cards. Add some 3″x4″ Memory Protectors to mix it up even more. 

Another option is to fill the album with full size 6″x8″ Memory Protectors and fill them with down sized scrapbook layouts. There are Memory Protector designs that you can mix and match throughout your book: 3″x4″, 4″x6″ and 6″x8″.

Of course you can also use the binder as a planner. Either purchase the calendar pages from us (currently deeply discounted!) or create your own. There are so many great printables available on the internet.

Members of my Close To My Heart team are using the Everyday Life album as “business binders”. We are setting up sections to hold information about contacts, events, goals and more.

In fact, you can embrace your creativity and combine all of these ideas to create exactly what you want. Regardless of what you create with your Everyday Life Album, adding a few tabs can help you keep your pages organized.

Everyday Scrapbooking with My Crush books

I love scrapbooking, but sometimes it is nice to break the rules (or not have any rules) and not worry about everything being perfect. Also sometimes I have more souvenirs for a trip or event than I want in my family albums. My Crush books are the perfect solution.

Each book has 60 heavy pages that are ready for your memories. You can journal and adhere memorabilia  directly on the pages. Or you can use some papers and envelopes from the My Crush assortments or scrapbook supplies to adore the pages. Since there are no rules, you can also use everyday items like sticky notes or paper clips in your book.

The pages are naturally are eclectic and fun. Since you don’t need a ton of supplies, you can take it with you and scrap as you live the memories.

MY CRUSH CLUB

If you live in the Arnold/South County area, you may also be interested in joining my monthly My Crush Club which meets one Tuesday night each month. Our next one is October 22 from 6:30 – 8:00. This is fun night where we each work independently on our books and share our progress with each other.

Each month, I will provide supplies to create a few unique items to use in your My Crush book. For example, we may stamp a journaling spot, create an embellishment or cut photo mats on the Cricut. The projects will change each month so you will not want to miss!

The cost to attend a My Crush Club meeting is just $5 which includes all of that month’s projects plus a $5 credit toward My Crush purchases. Prior to your first meeting, you will need to order a My Crush book.

If you have questions or would like to sign up please email me.
