Christmas Photos and Cards Album Challenge


For the first time in a long time, I actually was excited for Christmas this year.  I have came a long way, and the excitement is back for the little things - holiday's, birthday's, and just day to day events!  I also have a few pictures from the past few years - and decided to combine all of the past few years' photos and cards, into a fun album!  
I have my thoughts together and out on paper (for the most part), and my supplies starting to be put in one area so it makes it easier for me to create when I can!  Since I have to share part of my space with my cat's, well - it makes it easier for me personally to keep things in drawers that I am working on.  Right now - I have 4 drawers full of stuff and ideas rolling for all 4 of them!  Each drawer - an idea to share once it is finished and a challenge (with ideas) as I am creating!  
Your challenges for today: 
  1. Decide what type of album or project you are going to make.  
  2. Do you have your supplies ready to go, either purchased or from your stash?   If not, start to put things together in one place that you want to create with!  
  3. Do you have your photos developed, your cards in one place?  If not, start to get that ready or on a list to get done!  
  4. What do you want your project to look like?  Have you sketched anything out, got the title of the album thought out, or anything else about the album done?  If not, start with a simple sheet of paper - and get what thoughts you do have - down on paper!  
Right now, I am not sure if I am coming or going with all the projects I have in my head!  I need to spend the time to put down on paper what I already DO know, leaving room for more inspiration as I am going!  For me, I want MY album to be different than the other Christmas albums I have made...  so that next year - it is placed with all the fun decorations for everyone to see!  I will be starting my cover first - that is usually where it all starts for me!!!

Thanks for stopping by,
