Happy New Year!!!

If you are like me, I have a ton of pictures from 2008. What are you going to do with them all?

What I would like to do is to create a scrapbook highlighting 2008. To remind me what 2008 was about. What happened in 2008, significant events, birthdays, parties, new friends, old friends, good times, bad times, holidays, whatever was significant or meaningful to you.

There are several ways this can be tackled. There can be a page layout for each month or one or two page layouts per person in the family. I personally like the monthly approach.

This type of scrapbook album should contain the following:

• Title page displaying the year 2008. You may want to include some pictures from 2007 New Years Eve celebration here as well as New Years embellishments.

• Monthly title pages displaying the month name and several pictures and embellishments which set the scene for the month. For example, September may include school type pictures, July could include fireworks embellishments, or December showing off the special holiday season.
• Detail Pages will follow the Chapter page and should include holidays and other events that occurred in the month.

I will be working on my pages and will post them as I go. I will next work on the 12 monthly title pages. Stay with me to see how it is done and to get some ideas for yours.
