I shared a bit more about my plans for this project in THIS POST. Since I'm following the same basic format, and using a lot of the same basic supplies, I won't be sharing too many details in these posts - so please refer back to that first post to find the main info on this album project :)
So, I realize I have that little blurb at the top of this post, linking to a post with my original plan for this album. But I did actually change up the album a while ago.
I realized that I was only going to be able to fit a year and a half of books into one 6x8" album, and that got me thinking. I find myself thinking about the end result of a lot of projects (or on-going projects like this one). I've been scrapbooking/documents for well over 27 years, and the amount of albums that I have is a little insane. I knew I didn't want to end up with a ton of albums filled with books that I've read.
So I simplified my process and took out all of the filler cards and number cards for each book. I originally had a full page for each book - using a photo of the book, a journaling card, a filler card, and a card with the number (book __ for the year). Now, I simply have a photo of the book and the journaling card. This allows me to fit way more books into one album, and actually saves me a lot of time as well.
I removed all of those other cards, and rearranged all of the pages to fit this new design. I will also be adding a title page for each year, as a way to seperate the books that go with each year.
My reading has slowed WAY down the last few months (I totally blame my work schedule), so I only have 2 additional books to add to the album for this year. I'll share that last page here once I get it done, and will continue to share my pages for books read in 2022.
Nice! I love your taste in books. Back to the Burbs was one of my favorites this year! I hope those authors do more in the series.
