Each year my sister in law Lori creates a DVD for our family with photos from the year. She asks me to go through all my photos and choose my favorites from each month. (As most of you photo junkies like me can imagine that is a task in itself.) Well, after spending hours choosing about 400 of my favorite photos, I was inspired to do something with them. I went online and created a 120 page digital book from http://www.blurb.com/ for both my parents and Sean's. But as most of us paper or hybid scrapbookers out there, we like to "feel" our pictures and create a paper album as well. So, after being inspired by the new Simple Scrapbooks "Simple Albums" issue I decided to jump right in and create a "2008 Favorite Photos" album. I absolutely love how it turned out and it gets 2009 started without me feeling behind.

If you are interested in making one of these albums, I created 5 kits for K2 Scrapbook Studio. You can purchase a kit or if you want to join me, I will be "teaching" it on Saturday January 17th from 10 till whenever... It is much more like a workshop where you will be given all the supplies (except your photos) and I will be there to help you assemble and answer any questions. You won't need much instruction, but I have to say it will be more fun to sit with other women while you assemble this great album.

The kit includes: the album, a package of 12 x6 page protectors, kraft paper, Luxe two sided patterned papers (enough to fill the album), Maya Roads acrylic journaling tags, a scoop of buttons, Melissa Frances stickers, Basic Grey letter stickers and chipboard pack. Instructions and photos of the finished project will be included as well as some time and money saving tips. Kit costs $75.00 (the album and papers have been pre-cut and ready for assembly)

What could be better than getting 200-300 photos in an album in one day!! A great way to start off 2009. Hope you can join me. If you have any questions please call the store at (941) 926-1744 or e-mail me at nikkiclearypta@comcast.net .
