Finished!

While on my winter break between semesters, I decided to finish several mostly finished albums. I have a tendency to get mini-books mostly finished, but not completely finished. I like to save the journaling for the end and that was the key piece missing from these albums. So here’s a summary of what I fished over my break:

2012 Florida Scrapbooks

I thought I had more to do in this album than I actually did. I only had a little bit of journaling to complete. It took me less than 30 minutes to finish this two-volume album.

60th Birthday Scrapbook

Again, I only had to journal. It took me about 20 minutes to add in my journaling to this album. Much of the journaling involved simply lableing (who, what, where), though a few pages were slightly more involved.

December 2012

I made a December album last winter. Well, I took photos and completed some pages last December. Then I finished some more of it over the summer. I really needed to finish it up. It did take a few hours to complete the album. I had to print out a couple of additional photos, decide on which ephemera to keep, and journal. The journaling too the longest as I needed more explanations about why I took particular photos than I typically do in scrapbooks. Here the stories drove the picture taking rather than the other way around.

I still have three other mostly finished albums to polish off, but I’m happy with my progress thus far.
