Required Supplies
Do you have all your supplies? Use this checklist to be sure you're not missing anything you'll need!
-
An album in the size of your choice I'm currently using a 9x12 album, but it's important for you to choose a size that you feel comfortable with.
-
Pocket pages to fit inside your album, in a style of your choice My favourite styles are ones that include spots for 4x6, 3x4 and 3x3 photos but, again, it's a personal preference.
-
Project Life® cards I love leaving space for pretty filler or journaling cards in my spreads. There are SO many different ones to choose from! I use a mixture of cards from different Project Life® core kits and my Studio Calico monthly kits.
-
Paper trimmer/scissors Essential for cutting apart smaller photos printed on to 4x6 photo paper!
-
Pens/printer/typewriter You’ll need something to write your journaling with. A typewriter is my go-to way of adding journaling but I’ll often reach for a pen for speed and to get my handwriting into my album.
-
Embellishments I like to keep things simple on my spreads, but always pick out a few favourite items from my stash to include. Look out for things that will work well on their own in a pocket – it’s sometimes fun to have floating elements in your album!
-
Adhesive or stapler I tend to use a roller adhesive for most things, but always keep my trusty Tiny Attacher within reach in case I want to staple something!
