First, I bought one of those inexpensive albums at the store. I cut a slit in the cover and pulled out the paper that served as the decoration on the cover. Then, I put in my own paper. I added a tag, some stickers, and VOILA, the cover of my little photo album was transformed!
Next, I pulled out some 7 Gypsies tags. I attached a Making Memories clip to each of them and journaled all about our adventure.
Finally, I tucked the tags into the pages of the book.
My goal is to make lots of simple little albums like this one. It didn't take much time, but really made a fun keepsake. I hope to find a basket to display in my living room and keep the albums in there.
Thanks for stopping by and having a peek,

Great project and one we can all relate too Annabelle!! :-)
I just LOVE this idea Anabelle!!! I love how you did the journaling tags & used an everyday photo type album. I think I have tons of those around since I pick them up in the $1 spot all the time. This would also be a cute project to have your kids journal on the tags while on vacation & add them in with photos later. I'm going to have to remember this next time we go somewhere, love it!!
This is such a great idea. A I correct,,,this was one of those cheap plastic photo albums you can get anyplace? I love the idea of the tags behind each photo. Wonderful.
I absolutely love this idea and will definitely be CASEing it! Thanks for the great idea!
