What We've Learned From You | 4x6 Layered Template Set
You might remember a couple months ago I had a post that listed things we've learned from Simon. If you missed that post you can check it out here.
I knew from the beginning that I wanted to do something tangible with those words. This is something that I hold dear about memory keeping: it's an opportunity to visibly express love in a concrete way via words and photos.
I'm excited to let you know that I designed a 4x6 layered template package to go along with those words so Simon will be able to have a little book for himself.
The 4x6 layered template package includes a title card, right journaling card, left journaling card, and six sentiment cards. They are all layered PSD files so you can completely adjust the colors, add in the correct names, and add your own journaling.
The fonts used are Sanchez and Garamond. The script is my handwriting.
You can re-color these to anything you want or remove the background and have the text on top of a photo like I did here:
Loved playing with that one.
Right now I printed out all the 4x6 pages + photos and placed them inside some divided page protectors. I'm on the hunt for a small album that holds 4x6 photos that he can keep in his bedroom.
Here's a look at all my pages (click to view larger):
Here's a look at these cards placed inside 12x12, 4x6 divided page protectors:
I'm excited to see how people end up using these templates - whether within Project Life or in smaller mini-books. It's an awesome opportunity to show someone in your life how much they are loved and valued via words and photos.
Enjoy! Pick up the layered template set here.

Awesome! I can't wait to download these and get started on them for my sons. I recently found a kraft 4x6 album at Michael's (Recollections line) that I think will work really well for this. Maybe check there? I look forward to seeing which album you do choose. Thanks for sharing!

I just LOVE this idea! My younger daughter has confidence issues, partially from comparing herself to her older sister. I think doing something like this would mean the world to her.

I've been meaning to do a layout like this about my nephew and what he's taught me.

Even though Anna is young, it'd be interesting to see what she has learned from her older brother, too! :)
