Engagement Photo Album

I really, really love my engagement photos, but I feared that if I just left them in a digital format they'd get lost in the hundreds of digital photos that I have. And I was certain that the digital photos would be nearly meaningless for our mothers, so I made us albums.

I wanted something a little nicer and more handmade than just a regular photo album that has clear plastic sleeves. I simply started with a few albums that I had picked up for super cheap when my local Pearl store went out of business. The albums came with white pages and clear plastic sleaves. I replaced all these pages with a black cardstock cut down to size. From there, it was super easy!

I printed a simple little title plate for the first page.

I got all of the photos printed from Kodak Gallery--matte with a white border.

And I used simple photo corners that I had picked up at Michael's. They're super cheap and super easy yet they make the photos look so classy.

Finally, I built a pocket from some scrapbook paper to hold a photo CD in the back of the album.

They turned out great and everyone loved them!
