January Scrapped

I was determined to scrap our photos and stories from January this month, and I've succeeded . . . with two hours to spare! I completed the first few layouts a couple of weeks ago and finished the rest up today.

2017 Title Page

I'm being ACTIVE in using my stash this year, and this Teresa Collins Notations die cut paper (which has been in my stash for a few years) worked perfect for the first layout. I simply added 2017 in puffy stickers and a line of string pearls to complete the title.


Meet-Up With Thayer & Jann

This meet-up occurred on the same day as our one snowfall this year, so I created a companion pocket page.

Wintertime Snow

The back of that page proctor works perfect for miscellaneous photos taken around the house last month. I added arrows with little captions for the photos.

January At Home

I wanted to be sure and document the beginning of my word for the year, so I used a grid design to arrange random photos and memorabilia and my next layout.

ACTIVE 2017

And, finally, Daddy's birthday is actually in February, but since we celebrated the weekend before in late January I scrapped it, too.

Celebrating Daddy's 70th Birthday

I'm excited to have our 2017 chronological album off to a great start and am looking forward to scrapping our February memories in the next few weeks. Have you scrapped any 2017 stories or photos yet?
