are back in stock. We’ve got more of the 12×12 Cloth Albums, and new to us are the 12×12 and 6×12 Corduroy albums.

These are much better than they sound, one has already made it to my house for my Christmas Journal. One of my favourite things about the American Crafts albums is using different sized page protectors inside, and I think that’s going to be perfec for me this year. It will be Harrisons first Christmas so there will be loads I want to cover this year, so being able to use 12×12 will be great, but for those days where there isn’t much I can just do a 6×6 or 8×8 page instead. I’m also looking forward to using some 6×12 pages in there too. The Cherry and Leaf albums are just pefect!

We’ve just had our latest American Crafts delivery arrive and it’s full of fantastic albums. There’s a great selection of colours, and being able to use any size of page protector is a great advantage.

I’m in the process of reorganising my scraproom, and my albums need a bit of a sort through as well. I’ve been reading Stacy Julians latest book, Photo Freedom and these albums are going to be my next purchases to organise all my layouts.

I’ve gone through my old albums looking at the layouts to see WHAT i actually scrap, what themes, people, topics etc, and I ‘m going to use the following albums:

• Harrison
• Rob
• Me
• Traditions
• Travel
• Our Family Life
• Christmas
• Special Occasions

Then I just need to take all the layouts out of all my other albums, and put them all back in!

Supplies:

• White Cardstock
• Black Cardstock
• Blue Cardstock
• Letter Stickers American Crafts Hat Box
• Cricut and Jasmin Font
• 4×12 Panoramic Photo

A simple and quick layout highlighting a special photo. This would be equally as effective with pink cardstock for a baby girl.

Trim the black cardstock to create a white border to frame the page. I trimmed the panoramic photo to extend beyond the black layer but not the white border, but you may prefer it to be the same width as the black cardstock. Use the letter stickers to create your title, and the cricut to cut the “Baby Boy” I used Jasmine Italic at 2.5inches. That’s all, a strking layout in a matter of minutes.

We’d love to see your versions of this layout, post a link to yours in the comments below.
