Good Morning! Happy Saturday and welcome to this month's Studio AE blog hop!
This month I had fun! Okay .... so I have fun every month. But THIS month I finally pulled together those photos that I took for a Week in the Life back in 2010. I know, right?
I thought the Memories of Home by Ali Edwards went well here. (I LOVE that house stamp)
Since it took me over two years to pull these photos into action - I decided to keep it simple. I used my Bind-it-all, created my covers out of chipboard covered with patterned paper, adhered the photos back to back throughout the book and labeled the beginning of each day with one of the Story Cards.
As for journaling, I used a Sharpie and wrote on the photos that needed a bit of explanation. (Our days often need an explanation). Quick. Easy, Done
Now to pull out those photos from 2011.....
Make sure to check out all the other great inspiration in this month's blog hop!

This may very well be my favorite stamp set so far! Gorgeous mini book and love how you used the cards as tabs!
