I’ve been working on our Home Album this week and finished five layouts about a little house we lived in for just a year. It was fun to look through the photos (we moved from there nearly 26 years ago) and see what items of furniture we still have (quite a bit), what art work is still hanging on our walls (not much), and how very young Sarah and Matt were. I know we have a photo of the outside of this house, but I can’t put my hands on it, so the first page is a photo-less page. Should I ever find it, I’ll add it to the page.

Your home album is going to be such a treasure – great pages. I like the photo of the table set with the blue tablecloth, all ready for a special meal.
I love the chipboard house and little hearts on the title page. You seemed to have found perfect paper for the pages! Plus, I’m glad to see you working on another project for your finish tag book.

I love the idea of a home album – I’m sure it will be something to treasure for a long time!
It’s great that you still had photos of all the rooms…the album will be so full of memories when it’s finished.
This is gorgeous Karen, I love how you have all the photo’s from so long ago. Your album will be a wonderful treasure.
That looks like one very pretty bedroom you had 🙂 Looking back at old photos of our houses gives me a lot of pleasure – I only wish I had more photos. This album will be wonderful
What a great idea for a book!
What beautiful layouts, Karen! They will create a very special cherished album for your family!
Oh, beautiful! That first layout looks really lovely even without a photo 🙂
Karen, I love your scrapbooking style!! Perhaps I can take some inspiration from your blog as I try to tackle the challenges I have set for myself.
I love that you’re getting this album made :). It’s made me realise that I don’t really take many photos of inside my home – I take photos of the outside and sometimes the lounge but I don’t take detail shots. This is something I’ll have to make an effort to change. Thanks for sharing your album xx
Superb idea for an album. I love those little tied-on tags … And thank-you for the opportunity to have a peek at your former home. 🙂
