Hello, it's Emily again! I've got a project for you that again features childhood photos, but this time, it goes from babyhood to my senior year. I went to high school in the 1980s when big hair was popular. Remember I asked you to be kind? I am not one to wear the same hairstyle more than a few years, I like change. I noticed that in looking through old photos. I thought it would be fun to have all those photos of my hairstyles in one place so I put together this album.
I have a reputation for freaking out when I am faced with the task of making a mini album. It's deserved. But once I got my cool back, I decided to use the exact same elements on every page, move them around a bit, and keep the design pretty similar. It worked! Before I knew it, I had my pages done!
Here's a schematic of the elements I used. You'll notice through the pages, I follow a very similar design. It made it easy to complete this project, I didn't have to reinvent anything.
And here's the album in its entirety. I hope you enjoy.
I called it Volume 1 because I must do a volume two for the last 20 years. It would only be fair! ~ Emily Pitts
We are on Day Ten of our "12,000 Facebook Fan" celebration and today we are celebrating Spellbinders!!! A wonderful company full of wonderful people! We love working with them and we LOVE working with their products too! When we told them about our celebration it took only moments for them to offer these three beautiful sets to an SCT fan. Again, how wonderful right?
Do you want to have these Edgeabilities die sets in your scrap space? (Of course you do!!!) Just enter HERE! And in the spirit of this wonderful week of celebrating, we would love you to visit the Spellbinder's facebook page and thank them for all their support for SCT! We have heard from all our partners just how much they have LOVED hearing from our readers!!! We always say we have THE BEST readers out there :)
For our US readers and friends, we hope you have a wonderful 4th of July! See you tomorrow!

Eek, Emily....I have thought about doing an album like this for my older DD, who has had the most amazing hair over her lifetime.....did a page, but not an album. Gonna lift this for sure!!!
LOVE Spellbinders....I have so many. They are the best!

What a fun album and such a great idea. I love the way you used the same basic design in the album, but it doesn't always look the same. Great job Emily. Also, another great giveaway and my favorite die company. Thanks

I just love this!!
Posted by: April W | July 05, 2012 at 10:36 AM
Oh, I remember the hair.....all but the soft curly. I had straight hair and and I had a "wooly lamb" perm for years....those stinky perms where you put in a hundred tiny rods and left them in forever with that horrible smelling perm solution. The perms cost about $2.00 and the curls lasted for at least 3 months. But how fun to remember the hair styles I had.........for the last 60 years...that would be some album. I just may have to consider that. And what a great idea to use the same elements. Thanks for the idea. Hope your 4th was great.
