New Today: Little Details + Mini Album

I’ve got a new product in my oscraps shop today.  Little Details includes 7 journaling stamps/overlays for sharing the little details of your story including who, what, when and where.  These are black .png files which are very easy to recolor.

LITTLE DETAILS MINI ALBUM

I made a little mini album over the weekend using the 4×6 overlay from Little Details.  I decided to put the album together with the story on one side and a 4×6 photo on the other.

I made a simple title page (and matching insert for the kolo album window).  I made a coordinating end page that included the little details about who made the book and when.

here’s a look at the title page

and the end page

For the inner pages, I started by browsing through my lightroom photo library and picking out some random photos whose stories had not been told yet.  Then I jotted down some other stories that I knew I wanted to include in the album, and that fit the little details theme.  For some events I had the perfect photo and for others I didn’t have a photo from the actual event but found another one that worked.

I included a story about my first truck and how I couldn’t believe I was never pulled over on reasonable suspicion because of all the stickers.

I included the story about bringing my daughter to work with me for the first five months of her life.  I wrote about all the little details of when she would sleep, where she would sleep, how she’d sit on my desk in her bouncy seat and swing next to me in her portable swing.

I wrote about the time my husband killed a 6 foot rattlesnake with 13 rattles using only a shovel.  I didn’t have a photo of the rattlesnake or one from that event but I found another photo of him at the cabin holding a small garden snake (which is the same place we found the rattlesnake).

I wrote about my relationship with my mom and about how becoming a mom myself really changed my whole perspective.

It only took me a couple hours to put the album together.  I’m really loving having this little collection of stories and details.
