A few weeks ago, my mom and I decided to redo all her old albums! We took one whole saturday and attacked the first of the albums. We decided to go in chronological order starting with Paris 1984, right when they started dated. She said that if I hadn’t be there, she would probably start with the baby albums and not really get anywhere at all.
This was the state of the albums in the beginning…. yellowing peel-photo album pages….
We decided to go with ProjectLife kits because it seemed a million times easier. We could just slide all the photos in the page protectors, add the journaling cards, and be done!
Unfortunately, our photos were 3×5 instead of 4×6, so they didn’t really fit…
But we just went with it and thought we would put a backing on them later….
Here’s a great photo I found 🙂 gotta love the 80s fashion…
Emptying all the pages…. took forever…
Also – Don’t buy this brand of albums. The labels are a problem… we returned it
Project Life didn’t have any all-4×6 sheets – but we found these! for the sheets with just too many pics and not enough journaling.
We love the black & white albums! Mom decided it was important to be only black and white albums, but solid white albums are not available anywhere… we found a few black albums and we’re going to alternate them…
Here are some of the pages… still without journaling, but you get the idea. Since they were 3×5 instead of 4×6 we backed them all with black cardstock. That was the worst part. We survived.
