In 2010 Caroline and I did Shimelle Laine's Document 2010 and with alot of encouragement and nagging from each other we managed to complete it. In 2011 Caroline and I bought the Simple Stories yearly kit and used that to document 2011 and again, with alot of encouragement we both finished it, well all my photos are in, layouts for each month have been done, just needs a bit of labelling before I forget what the photos refer to. This year I decided to follow the format I've used over the last couple of years but make a front page for the album and monthly titles using a cute 2011 Newton's Law calendar I was going to throw away. I had to fudge March cos I remember saving the page for something and tucking it away for safe keeping but as usual, "safe keeping" means "can't remember where it is". I used some new spray ink and a mask that I bought in a sale before Christmas to make the frame to sit Newton in on the front page, attached lots of buttons and a red strip at the bottoms with holes punched in it and added some pretend stitches. The montly page titles were 8.5" x 6" (portrait) pieces of cardstock, the Newton image from the calendar , a strip of ribbon and 3 buttons. Each of the page titles have been stuck on the top, left hand side of a divided page protector that displays 6 6" x 4" photos on each side, the title takes up two of the photo slots.
