HANDMADE BY HEIDI I MINI STORYLINE ALBUM KIT

hello friends lets talk photos and mini books.

i know we all got the photos and we all love the mini books.

i mean...who doesn't love a fresh stack of PRINTED photos just waiting to be played with?

the memory keeping possibilities are truly infinite.

and speaking of infinite...you can see i have quite the stack of photos below. 

sigh...anyone relate?

this is a box of photos that i had printed awhile ago and sadly they have just been sitting. i mean life just happens and keeps happening and sometimes the projects we want to get to so bad just do not happen the way we would wish.

luckily there are SOLUTIONS out there.  so many times i think we can get so "problem focused" rather than "solution focused" that we do not realize there are ways to make things happen despite the limitations in life that we may face.

for instance...this amazing storybook kit from heidi swapp.

this brand new kit is available ONLY at joann stores online and is the perfect solution for photos needing a home.  i say perfect because it has the album, it has the cute, and it all comes in this one box!  all you really need extra is a pen, some photo adhesive and a little creative time.

i was able to put this album together in about an hour the other night. i simply added in my photos, used the super adorable deck of days (which are included in the kit as well) to embellish my pages and then added my simple journaling following the album prompts.

(the only extra thing that i did add in were elements of the most adorable washi tape...but lucky for you that washi tape is also available right now at joann stores online as another fabulous handmade by heidi kit! you can find that little beauty right here.) 

and here is a look at the end result!

i had fun varying up some of my photo sizes and creating different photo spreads but for the most part i kept things super basic and straightforward with this album.

this album is truly perfect for any photo, event or special occasion.  i love how it captured last summers memories beautifully and SUPER easily.  i know you will absolutely adore creating your own album too.
