August Destash Challenge - Theme & Mini Album Supplies
12:00 AMThis is one of the spreads that I have completed for Atty's baby book. Except I need to reprint the photos (as the printer was running low on ink). |
Back in January, one of my goals was to really focus on destashing and using up some of the stuff that I own and not buying more! So this month for my Destash Project, I am going to be focusing on Theme and Mini Album supplies. I currently have three baby books in various stages of completion, as well as one baby book I haven't even started yet. Plus, I want to create a small travel book for our vacation at the end of the month! I hope you will join me in this adventure of Destashing your Themed and Mini Album supplies!
Plans for the Month
- Atty's baby book - I want this done by the end of the month, when she turns a year old! Honestly, I want it done by her birthday party (which is on the 23rd). It is pretty much done, but definitely needs some embellishing, journaling, and some photos printed. It is a Project Life style 12 x 12 album.
- Baby album gift for a friend - I have been working on a baby album for my best friend since....November. I think. Anyway, my friend really needs to have this in her hands like NOW. So while I'm working on Atty's book, I want to complete my friends. It is also a 12 x 12 Project Life style album and about 75% complete. This book is mainly about cutting papers and putting various cards into the album and then shipping it! Along with the huge pile of baby clothes that I need to send her, as well.
- Gift 6x8 album - This album is a surprise gift and needs to be done before my vacation. It is a 6x8 Project Life style album, that I haven't even started yet. It will need cards chosen, photos printed, journaling done, and some embellishing done as well.
- Mom's birthday present album - This is a traditional 12 x 12 album that will be all about Atty and her grandparents. Therefore, photos will need to be printed, journaling and embellishing done. However, it is a predesigned album, so most of the paper selections have been done.
- Travel album - I'm not quite sure if I will get to this or not, but I would really like to have a small mini album that I can stick emphema and bits and journaling from our trip. I would love to have it all prepped and ready so that I can just add photos when we went back and be done with it. However, it's on the backburner this month! Worse case scenario, I may just buy/make a smashbook and call it good enough!
I have nothing to show you lovelies, yet this week, as I had intended on posting my plans last week. But since I was on third shift all of last week and then had two teeth pulled on Thursday, I haven't quite had the oomph to get my butt in gear. This week I will be pulling together my kit for August and starting to work on these lovely projects - so stay tuned! And check back next week for how I begin this process of working on 4 different albums to DESTASH my baby supplies! If you have any helpful tips and tricks for doing mini albums, I would love to hear them!
