You can stop by on the weekend to link up and share your photo pocket style layouts too! Share your tried and true tips, link a related blog post, photos you’ve uploaded to Pinterest, whatever works for you. I can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on this week! 🙂

At the beginning of the school year my daughter and I started to put together a Project Life® mini album to document her kindergarten year. It’s been so fun to work on together! You can see more from the album here.

This week we added another page spread to the album + had a lot of fun with it. Can I just say that working on this album with Addie + the memories we’re creating while doing this together are just as precious as the memories we’re recording inside the album! It is so special to see how excited she is to write on the journaling cards, slip photos into the pockets and share details about who she is and what she loves at this darling age!

We decided it would be fun to include one of Addie’s handprints in her mini album so we did that this week using craft paint + these 4×6 ledger cards. Her hands were a bit too big to fit on one 4×6 card so I taped two together lightly on the back and did the handprint on both of them. Next, we removed the tape and slipped the two cards into their spots in the album, one on top of the other.

We then took some of the 3×4 cards included in the Mayfield Childhood mini kit and simply filled in the blanks. I love all the journaling prompts on the cards in this colorful kit, it makes it so easy to record the little details about your child!

We included a photo along with a little picture Addie drew on one of the 4×6 ledger cards and that was that. We worked on it for probably 1/2 an hour afterschool the other day and I’m thrilled with how much we were able to record on this one little page!
