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.

Thanks so much for the video tutorial--I'm still learning to use photoshop and seeing your work process step by step is so helpful! If you wanted to print say 8 copies of the same tag I suppose there is a way to duplicate the first one once you get it resized and colored the way you want it??? I'm off to work on that!
Love mini albums and yours are always so clean and simple and beautiful!
