Week 19 & Hawaii Dinner Sunset Page!

Here’s Week 19. It was a full week with lots of activity. It started with Mother's Day, included a trip to Georgia Aquarium, and ended with a graduation party and piano recital. It was hard choosing which photos to include, so I was glad I took lots of little videos too—they’ll help capture the memories through the QR code.

I also finished another Hawaii page. Slowly but surely, I will complete this album. It's sort of fun creating them a couple of years later; it brings back all the fun and beautiful moments.

And here are a couple more Hawaii pages. I decided to try out my new Zoomed In Templates. They were perfect for highlighting some gorgeous beach pages.

Week 17, Lava Tubes & Volcanoes National Park

We are right in the middle of all the May activities—recitals, graduations, end-of-school events, and everything in between. Even with a full weekend, I was still able to complete this page, which is one of the reasons I love these templates. They make it so easy to get memories documented, even in the busiest seasons.

I even found a little extra time to finish a couple more pages from our Hawaii trip!

Week 16: Special Events

Here’s Week 16! It was full of special events. I ended up tweaking the template just a bit to add one more photo spot. One of the best things about these templates is how easy they are to adjust. You can read a little more about my week in the pages.

Week 15: Recitals, Tennis, Movies Outside and More!

Here’s Week 15. I made a few small adjustments to the template to better fit my photos, and there were a few moments I didn’t capture on camera, so I included those in the journaling.

Week 14: In a Snap!

You know what I love about these templates? Even during a super busy week, I can still get my weekly page done in a snap. We were gone all weekend, and I was still able to put this page together quickly—now our fun week and weekend are all documented.

Week 12 & 13: So many things!

It has been a busy couple of weeks—mostly weekends—which kept me from finishing these pages. Week 12 was filled with a fun weekend with all of our kids home and parties galore, and this past weekend included a formal event for our high schoolers, along with Easter celebrations. It made for some wonderful memories and fun pages.

Weeks 10 & 11 and a couple of Hawaii Pages....

I’m a little behind, but thanks to the simplicity of these templates and pages, I was able to complete them quickly. A few weeks ago, I also finished scrapping my Hawaii pages—I just hadn’t had a chance to share them yet.

Take a look at the last few weeks. Some sad. Lots of good.

Quick Scrapping Tutorial!

 

I’ve been working on my Hawaii album lately, and as I was putting together a double-page spread using two single-page templates, I thought I’d share one of my favorite ways to scrapbook faster.

For this spread, I used two templates from the same set. 

First, I completely scrapbook one side of the layout — photos, journaling, papers, elements, everything. I take my time getting that first page just the way I like it.

Next, on the second template, I place my photos and journaling. Then I open both layouts in Photoshop and go to Window > Arrange > Tile All Vertically so I can see them side by side.

From there, I simply drag the papers from the finished (left) layout over to the right layout. If you hold down the Shift key while dragging, it will place the paper perfectly aligned on the template. Then just press Ctrl + Alt + G to clip it to the layer below.

After that, I add a few elements to the right side to balance everything out — and I’m done!

This method saves so much time because I don’t have to dig back through the kit and decide between all those beautiful papers again (and let’s be honest, sometimes that’s the hardest part!). Once you have one side designed, the second side comes together so quickly.

You could absolutely use this technique to create an entire album faster and with a cohesive look throughout.

You can watch the whole process here.

I did end up moving part of the title over to the right side for better balance, and I love how it brought the two pages together.

The kit I used is Roam Collection by Paislee Press and Rachel Jefferies.

Hope this helps you get those albums done!

Week 8: Some Extra Activities

Week eight included some sickness, BUT it also included warm weather and ended with a beautiful day outside. I just stuck to my template for this page, the styles I created, and one word art. Simple, quick, and beautiful!

Week 7: More Journaling

Week 7 of 2026 is scrapped! I wrote a little more journaling on these pages than usual because I wanted to include more than what was captured in the photos. I didn’t take pictures of everything I would have liked, so I made sure to document those moments with words instead.

I still kept it super simple. In the one large photo spot on the template, I added a few extra photos. I could have left it as a paper block or a single large photo, but I really wanted to fit more memories onto the page. Then I used my layer styles (see how I created them here and create your own!) to add a little color, added one small piece of word art, and boom—done!

2025 Documented Album - Printed!

I just received my printed 2025 scrapbook album from Shutterfly, and I’m so excited to finally have it in my hands! I’m sharing a little review below, along with a video so you can flip through the entire album with me.

What I Ordered

• 10x10 hardcover book

• Standard binding

• 106 matte pages

I waited for a sale and was able to get 50% off!

When the bright orange box arrived in the mail, everyone was eager to open it. I made sure all chores and schoolwork were finished first, though—I knew once we opened it, we’d all want to sit and look through it together.

Here’s the cover—it has a beautiful, glossy shine and feels sturdy and well-made.

I’m sharing a few close-ups of the inside pages. The 10x10 size is perfect: it’s easy to rest on your lap while flipping through, and the fonts are still large enough to read comfortably. Everything looks crisp, and the matte pages give it a soft, high-quality finish.

I used my Documented Templates to design this album, along with various kits from the Hey Scrapper Shop. I’ve bundled everything together for you, and it’s on SALE this weekend. If you prefer, you can also purchase the individual templates separately here.

You can see all of my pages here:

Hope this inspires you to keep working on those albums!
