aka the story of my September
WARNING. This post is super photo heavy... I apologize if this ruins your browser.
So... the book is finally done. I really liked making it. Even though I only really loosely followed Shimelle's prompts. I had a good time making it, and I certainly learned a lot.
I learned for sure that next year I will be making a much smaller book. One that doesn't have photos each day possibly, and one that will really focus more on the class prompts.
I really tried to make journaling and story telling more of a focus. At points on this project I got so frustrated. I ruined things. I made mistakes (mixing up days and so on). But I endured. I kept calm and carried on. ;)
And so here's the book:
I really want to work on my December Daily but it's just not going to happen right now. Life is too crazy busy. You know how it goes.
Happy Wednesday.
My goodness, this is gorgeous!! Glad to have found you (via Shimelle on fb) xx
ReplyDeleteThat's a really inspiring album, love it
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing album. It's inspired me to finish mine. I love your eclectic look too - it really works. You must feel really satisfied now it is done.

You did a great job! I still haven't finished mine... But now I'm inspired to work on it today since I have the day off from work! :)
ReplyDeleteoh this is so wonderful, thanks for all of the pictures!!! really inspiring!
ReplyDeleteYour book turned out lovely. I made it easy on myself and limit myself to drawing or fussy cutting things with my journaling. Not having a photo printer at home limits me. I love all your different layers and items you've put in this album. Really cute and well worth all your hair pulling to get the project done.
ReplyDeleteomg so beautiful! i've missed seeing your books. <3
ReplyDeleteFab book! Love the papers you painted/drew on (I think that's what it is, anyway).
ReplyDeleteLove it! I love all the different media and the brown envelopes. Its one of those books where I wish I knew you in real life so I could look through and touch the pages etc. Well done for getting it finished.
ReplyDeleteloving your book! like the mix of some big photos, some collages and different papers etc looks fab!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love it! Girl you are so creative! Im so inspired to make one. I was just wondering if you used chipboard or just candstock?

This is so great! I love how it turned out. Great job!
ReplyDeleteWowza. There are no words to describe how excellent this creation is!! Gorgeous work, Christina!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beautiful book, you always rock the minis!
ReplyDeleteAnother awesome LSNED album from you...Where did you get the cute envelope with curved flap?
ReplyDeleteOMG! This was so fun much to look at - I know alot of work went into this, but now that its done, you will always have a little reminder about September 2010. That's awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI love your mini book,but I have a question. Are the pages made of chipboard or is it cardstock. Did you put the pages together or did you buy a chipboard album.Thanks
ReplyDeleteThis is just amazing. So inspiring in everyway. From documenting life, taking simple pictures of everyday life, and crafty style. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI keep coming back to your book every few days! It's really, really awesome. Thanks for the inspiration. I have the skeleton of my book and journaling prompts. You make me want to leave work and complete mine right now -- but since I like being employed I'll wait till this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the continued inspiration
Fawn
This is genuinely one of the coolest things I have seen. I am so inspired by this! Thank you for your dedication to it, and thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThis is inspiring. I hope you look back and realise that all the effort was worthwhile and it is the photo's and personlisation that makes it so special and it will hold your memories forever rather than one with less work and class prompts - this one is alive with you and your life and I am sure it will be a delight to you in future years.
