You can take a peek at all my photo collages from 2012 here. I plan to put them all together in a photo book but haven’t gotten around to that yet, though its a project I can’t wait to get done!
I seriously LOVE these monthly instagram overviews! Its such a great way to document a whole lot of photos all at once and the little hashtag photo descriptions serve as my journaling. Simple + quick, just the way I like it! I coordinated my collages each month so I could add them to my album as a two page spread and I’m really loving the way they look!
Here’s a peek at the months I have in my album so far, along with a few journaling tidbits for my own records:
celebrating alivia’s birthday | starting project life | a delicious dinner out for our 14th anniversary snowshoeing in waterton lakes national park | potty training | addie’s first talk in primary | chores
ice fishing with my family | playing hookie from school to go snowboarding + skiing as a family | building a cub car | racing a cub car | valentine’s day | hiking bears hump in waterton
rainbow crafts with the little girls | wearing green to church for st. patrick’s day | celebrating cousin cait’s first birthday | easter egg hunts | emily’s first year playing basketball | fun at grandma + grandpa’s farm | easter sunday
Not only do I love creating these collages, but looking for photos for my collage at the end of each month is a great opportunity to sort, delete + backup my photos on a regular basis. I typically take an afternoon to go through each of my photo folders from the past month while looking for photos for my collage. I delete any unwanted photos, download + delete images from my iPhone + then do a backup.

I love how you’re including these collages in your album! How do you print them 12×12?
rebecca says
I print mine at Costco Linda, but I’ve also heard Persnickety Prints is a great place to use! 🙂

Wow- these are so CUTE! I love them. You are a great photographer, too.

Thx for the tip

I love your collages! What a great idea. I’ve just recently backed up 8 1/2 years of photos to DVD’s. I plan to go back through them little by little to scrapbook book them using Project Life or traditional/digital scrapbook pages. These collages will be a huge help. I am now a follower on Instagram! Thank you for also creating collages for Instagram. I just purchased your templates and can’t wait to get to work.

I need to check Costco Linda and Persnichety Prints… Would it be possible that they deliver to Finland…
But I’m so inspired of your lovely monthly collages. Have been doing mine since Jan 2012. Thanks for inspiration and advice Rebecca 🙂

Love the idea of a monthly collection of memories. I want to get into the habit of doing this soon.
Thanks for the inspiration.
