my life right now

I took Stacy Julian's challange and made a mini album about "my life right now" it took me a whole month- by slowly working on it but I finally finished it!!! imagine that- i actually completed something!
so she used some mini album but i made my own. i printed the pictures in 4x4- i just imported them into a blank document (letter size) in photoshop and then made sure it was 1/2 in from edges so i would have a 1/2 border all the way around it. I printed 2 on one page of photo paper and cut out in 5x5 squares. Then I cut out 2-5x5 square out of cardstock and covered them with paper (see down below for the paper stack I used- includes the stickers)so then i just journaled around the picture, then i used spray adhesive and stuck 2 pictures back to back. I punched holes in the corners- had my hubby do the cardstock, added clear reinforcers- you know the little circle stickers that go around hole-punched holes.
now - i couldn't get any of my scrapbook markers to write on the photo paper- so i used a thin sharpie- not sure how archival safe that is but anyway!




this is the pad that i used for the paper on the cover and the sickers too.
so check out my other blog to see the pictures i used (it is private blog)
