With Thanksgiving on the way it’s a wonderful time to take stock of all the things you’re grateful for. You can create journaling or scrapbooking layouts or even create an entire album like Conny did. Her mini album measures 5″ x 5 1/2″ and was made from scratch with chipboard, pattern papers and the One Fall Day collection from Bella Blvd. The cover has layers of pretty Fall papers, a chipboard sentiment and chipboard leaves and flowers, it also ties closed with ribbon.
Inside are beautiful pages with pattern paper backgrounds, more chipboard shapes and phrases with room for a photo and embellishments on each page.
She’s sharing cutting dimensions and directions on how you can recreate this beautiful album yourself over on the Bella Blvd. blog.

I use a very similar method. My local Walmart has these 12×12 zip up envelopes in the scrapbooking section. I purchased one for every major color and sort out my scraps by color. It really helps that I can see through them and they are organized so I can easily find papers I can use based on the colors in my theme.
