HIGHSCHOOL ALBUMS FOR MY KIDS
































I WANT TO MAKE ALBUMS FOR MY 2 YOUNGEST CHILDREN. NEXT YEAR IS MY DAUGHTERS LAST YEAR OF HIGHSCHOOL AND MY SONS FIRST, SO I WOULD LIKE THEM TO HAVE MEMORIES OF SUCH A BIG TIME IN THEIR LIVES. THESE WILL BE DECORATED, BUT EMPTY AS MY KIDS WILL FILL THEM IN EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR. I AM MAKING THE COVERS RIGHT NOW, AND ABOVE IS THE FRONT OUTSIDE & INSIDE COVER OF MY DAUGHTERS BOOK. I ALSO AM MAKING 12 POCKET PAGES (AND LOTS OF OTHERS TOO), AND I CHOOSE THE PAPERS FROM THE DCWV "ROCKSTAR" PAPER PACK. I WILL UPLOAD PAGES AS I GET THEM DONE. THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED GIVING ME ADVICE ON THIS! I DECIDED TO GO WITH THE 8X8 SIZE, HOWEVER MY DAUGHTERS COVER IS 8 X 8 1/2.
***UPDATED: ADDED PAGE 1- BOTH SIDES. (NOT SURE IF I AM LEAVING LIP PAPER BLANK YET.)

***UPDATED: ADDED SIX PAGES, JUST THE BACKS, NOT THE FRONTS. WILL SHOW THE FRONTS WHEN BOOK IS DONE.
***UPDATED: ADDED 4 PAGES.

***UPDATED: ADDED LAST PAGE AND COMPLETED ALBUM (ONLY WITH 12 POCKET PAGES IN IT) TO SHOW HOW I ATTACHED IT ALL TOGETHER.
ALBUM WAS ALL HOMEMADE, NOT STORE BOUGHT. USED MAT BOARD FOR FRONT AND REAR COVERS. USED 8 1/2 X 11 PAGE PROTECTORS CUT DOWN TO FIT EACH PAGE, THEN USED CROP-A-DILE TO PUNCH HOLE AND 3" BINDER RINGS TO HOLD IT ALL TOGETHER.
ENJOY!
