I loved the idea of a December Daily - such a fun way to document a month. But December is such a busy month with end of school events etc. So I decided to do a January Journal - for us, January means the big Summer school break, going on camping holidays, spending time at the beach and just having fun together. We also have a birthday celebration in the family. So I thought it would be great to document this wonderful month of the year with a photo journal.
A long time ago.......... I made a paper bag album, yes, out of good ole' lunch bags. I remember it being such a great project; but I gave it away as a gift. So I thought that I would make this journal from brown paper bags - and keep it myself!!
I have put 15 bags together and used my Crop-o-dile to punch three holes for the jumbo eyelets. Then I've put in some jump rings - I hope to have lots of ribbons hanging of these at the end!
Next I chose my cardstock and embellishments that I want to work with - I want to have a uniform colour scheme and limit myself to a certain amount of embellishments (my dining table is covered at the moment). So I've gone with a Kaisercraft Collection - Seaside Collection - this is really perfect for my Summer themed journal. I have twine, crochet trim, American Thickers, buttons..... but I'm sure I'll be adding more to the table as I go along.
Thanks for coming by and happy crafting.

I love this idea Chantelle, I always love your scrapbook pages and your photos are just beautiful, so I know this album is going to be a real treasure when finished. I love the colour scheme you have chosen, so bright, summery and cheerful. Can't wait to see the end product.
