Even though we don't have as much snow as we usually do, I'm sure you have been taking some outdoor winter pictures that need to be scrapbooked. Here is a two-page layout for you to copy. You can click on the picture to make it bigger. I love the smiling snowman and the sprinkling of snowflakes on the pages.

Big sigh of relief! I finally figured out the best way to label the spine of my completed scrapbook albums. Here's what didn't work. I originally used 104294 Sticky Strip to hold my labels. A few days later, I looked and ALL my labels fell off. That was so discouraging.
Here's how I made my labels and what worked to keep them on my linen albums. I printed the words for each book on 101650 Very Vanilla Cardstock and cut them out. I used the 122194 Big Shot Fabric Adhesive Roll (p. 196) to adhere the cardstock labels to the spine. Yes, you can use this to iron cardstock to fabric! What a lifesaver!!!
Here are the completed Cabin albums for the last six years. I started with 8 1/2 x 11 albums and realized that I needed to switch to the 104514 Linen 12 x 12 (3-ring) albums because Ms. Photography Nut (me) didn't want two albums for each year. That would take up too much space! Here are the seven completed Cabin albums and one empty album ready for pages.
And here is my other shelf of completed albums. The three grandgirls' albums, my life as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and our Panama Canal cruise.
For the grandgirls' albums, I used 118108 My Digital Studio to create their labels. I used the Broadsheet Alphabet download and sized the letters it to fit the spine. Then I printed them on Very Vanilla Cardstock and cut them into rectangles. I again used the Big Shot Fabric Adhesive.
For my Stampin' Up! memories, I again used My Digital Studio to create the labels.
I wasn't sure if this type of labeling would work on this 104518 Linen (post-bound) album. It did!!!!
Now that these albums are done and labeled, I can start working on the partially completed albums stashed in my closets. Oh, and then the bins of loose pictures that I rarely look at will be my next goal! Little by little I'll get our photographs organized!

This two-page Christmas layout would be great for the "sitting on Santa's lap" pictures, breakfast with Santa or someone opening their special Santa gifts.

Here is an easy two-page layout for those of you who want to get a jump start on your Christmas scrapbook pages. Or for those of you who want to catch up with last year's Christmas photo's. Even though some of the ribbons and Designer Series Paper used on these samples are retired, there are beautiful new ribbons and Designer Series Paper you can select from the catalog.
