Section One :
The embellishments I used next to each printed element were from a collection of miscellaneous products that had lost their original packaging. This is a great project for giving products like that a home.
For the page opposite each photo I created a series of journaling strips that talk about each person.
Here's a look at the page when it was first printed:

I completed each sentence and then used my trimmer to cut out strips.
Section Two:
Love any chance I can get to incorporate some of his writing. This one I
scanned in and printed on the same cream cardstock I used for the word
art.

Hi Sheri - the chipboard pages that come with the album have holes in place. I adhere one photo (or piece of pattern paper) and punch the holes with a crop-a-dile tool. Then I adhere the paper/photo to the other side and punch again.

I was wondering what the paper was that you used on the final page? I have seen you use it several times and love it. The album is stunning.
