Your video was so fun and inspiring to watch. I don't typically do foundation pages, but this has really gotten me in the mood to give them a try. So excited for your RU-vid channel Annette!
Thank you Jessica!! I'm excited to check out your channel too!! Love all your work and designs! Fun to see different approaches and get inspiration from each other! Thanks again!! :)
oh I'm excited you like those too! I started using index cards instead of having post it notes everywhere and I love them! I like the blank / unruled ones. (I get the 100 pack for 75 cents from Target.) I have some notebooks I like to sketch ideas and pages in, but I also love the index cards because it's easy to slip in a pocket or attach to the page, etc. I have had those IKEA boxes (called Dragan) for a long time after Ali shared how she used them in her organizing video. I keep repurposing them for different uses...they are great! (but a cute Christmas tin would also be really fun!)
Thank you Janet!! So fun to use older supplies! I love shopping my stash to see what will complement the kit/theme I want to use each year. That's awesome you are going to look through your old albums too. What a gift they are!
Annette!! This is a FABULOUS start!! I feel so inspired by what you’ve shared in your foundation pages! I have so many questions…what are those pocket / page protector organizer things you’re using to hold supplies in place in your album? And where can I get the 4x4 pocket pages? I do have some old BH I can probably cut down, but definitely interested in that size! Thanks so much! Would love to see some walkthrough videos of previous years’ DD albums! Love that you have a RU-vid channel now!!🎉❤
Thank you Steph!!! I've had "Start a RU-vid Channel" on my list for I don't even know how long now. Just feels so good to get started. And thank you!! Thank you for the encouragement and inspiration! I love your videos and am so thankful to you for sharing all you do! I've been doing a fall reset / reorganization this week, so most of my albums are currently on my desk...hmmm...maybe I will do a video of those! The 4x4 pockets are from Doodlebug Design at Scrapbook.com (I need to get the ability to add links but can send them on IG). They load to the inside, so it's different but I like them! You will have to repunch the holes to add to Ali's albums, but they work! I used them in my Week in the Life. I didn't have any on hand but I did have some extra of the 4x4 pocket pages (originally 12x12) that I cut down to work. If the link works here it is: www.scrapbook.com/store/db-3500.html
And the document file folders are from Amazon! JIKIOU 30 Pack Clear Document Folder Copy Safe Project Pocket L-Type Clear Plastic Folder A4/ Letter Size in Transparent Color(Upgraded Size). a.co/d/i6AuIT3 They are so great to contain supplies you want and not have to use as many paperclips that might bend/warp the papers. And useful for regular home paper organization :)
Thank you!! I like how it reminds me of a Little Golden book! Just so excited to open that up to write in my day's story. Funny how a little thing like that feels so motivating!
The nice thing about these albums is that with the rings it is easier to add and move pages around, etc. Versus the more traditional post-bound albums. Is that what you are thinking of? Excited you are joining in!
