Albums as of Today

Here's a little info on the system I've got and where I'm planning to go with it. I still have hopes of signing up for Stacy's Library of Memories class this year - but if not, I think her book has me headed in the right direction. Ahhh, it feels good to have this much accomplished so far with my system. Danielle - you said you wanted some pictures! Here you go...


I just finished making the tags for my Library of Memory albums and so pleased with the way they look! I love the green ribbon - I need to get to the scrapbook store and find more of this. I still need to come up with a design for my title pages and sort through my previous layouts. All new layouts are going directly into their new home. Since they are D Ring binders, I'm able to put my layouts in chronological order.


Here's a picture of my albums. I began doing all Zoe-based layouts and they are all chronological. This was before I read Stacy Julian's book, Photo Freedom. In the picture you can see my two photo drawers that are sorted by my 4 main categories and then have subcategories which will turn into my subcategories for my albums, as well. You can also see Zoe's 12x12 Baby Book, then her 3 volumes to the right (my old system). I didn't clean up the shelves before the photo, perhaps I should have! The black storage between her albums and the red albums are all art work and school work from PreSchool - might be time to switch to a tub or some other organization method! The two red albums are planned for her School of Life albums. I purchased the Becky Higgin's School Years Kit from Creating Keepsakes last year and currently store all the plastic pages (they are a bit bulky) in these albums.
