My 2018 Pocket Pages Album!

Guys I've done it!  I've finally started my 2018 album!!

No I haven't caught up on all of 2017 yet, but it's time, time to start on the new year and finish off 2017 in the spare moments.

I've done a lot of thinking about what size album to use this year.  I've had 6x8 albums for both 2016 and 2017 and have loved that size, but I was really considering a shake up this year.  

If anyone in the scrapbooking industry was making 6x12 albums at the moment I would have SO been there!!  But nope, no 6x12's to be found anywhere (sigh!)  So my best larger option was a 9x12, and I just don't have that many photos to document each week.  So, 6x8 it is again this year, and I'm pretty happy with that.

I'll share more about my albums for this year in my week 2 post.


I'm also starting the new year with some new supplies.  This is the Studio Calico January Documenter Kit called Summit.  Now if you're in Australia and have ever ordered any scrapbooking supplies from the US, you'll know they seem to take forever to get here right?  Well, silly me took the budget shipping option for this kit and it felt like it took eons to arrive!  Well that may be a little dramatic, but lets just say most of the US had received their February kit by the time my January kit arrived.  Note to self.  No more budget shipping..

But... gosh this kit is BEAUTIFUL!!  It's been a while since I've used Studio Calico and I'm loving the quality of their product in the Documenter Kit.  There are plenty of 3x4 cards, and if you pick up some digital elements like I have this month, it's super easy to have a huge range of product to create your spreads with.


The title card for this week was part of an index on a 6x4 card that came with the kit.  I just trimmed it down to 3x4 and added the dates and a sticker to change it up to a title card.




This card is my absolute fave out of the kit this month.  The colours, the flowers, the folksy style to it, totally me.  I stamped one of the kit stamps onto white cardstock and layered that with a star sticker from the sticker sheet to make a simple filler card.


I've also created an insert for this week which holds a mini-book/album with photos of a fun bushwalk we did on the weekend, and I'll be back to share that soon.

Thanks for stopping by today!
