Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:28:03 +0000 http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/?p=15413#comment-214901 Yes, I totally agree. Almost all of my layouts end up using Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green. That’s what my kids wear and all their toys are always in the background. I have a few digital PL products, but the colors just don’t work as well, so I typically use other digital kits that have these colors.

I’m a sucker for anything ROYGBIV. :)

I’m thinking a photo of the food in the 3×4 pocket and then a recipe card in the 4×6! :)

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 17:57:34 +0000 http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/?p=15413#comment-214879 Very exciting! I love the mini albums! When you opened it, I immediately thought, “December Daily!” I’m planning to use my iPhone to document December this year, so I would likely use the 3×4 spot for the photos and the 4×6 spot for the journaling. Of course, I would probably mix it up, and have a few 4×6 photos in there as well (especially for special events where I would pull out my big camera). I typically do all my scrapbooking digitally, but December Daily is the one project that I do with paper. I would love to see Christmas themed mini-kits with daily numbers included. I’m thinking 1-25 on both 3×4 and 4×6 journal cards (for flexibility) with some blanks and filler cards thrown in for good measure. Maybe some could have words to Christmas carols. :)

I also love the childhood mini-kits. I started to do “school albums” for my boys, but we are blessed to go to a small private school that publishes an excellent full-color year book including all grades K-12, so… I’ve decided it would be overkill for me to do a separate school album since they’re already doing the work for me. I loved seeing Porter’s big album, though, and it reminded me that I need to scan in artwork and handwriting samples to include in our family PL album. :) Anyway… I am excited to see all the new stuff coming out!! YAY!

I can envision using these for all sorts of quick mini’s – mostly trips or a big holiday event I may have a bunch of pictures for and do not want to make tons of 12×12 layouts……at first glance the colors seem very “primary/school/child” oriented …would love to see a beautiful teal/seafoam….a chocolate brown….these could be so great!! (and will be I’m sure! Nice nice job! ….and I agree I adore Lori’s designs!

Those are awesome! Love the quote cards and the grid lines for the different orientations. You thought of everything! Even though my kids are grown and I’m working backwards, I know those childhood cards will be handy as I am finishing up their school years. I have lots of memorabilia saved on various pieces of paper or in journals, etc., so that I know I have the content to go back and fill in some of those cards. Of course it would be easier if I were doing this ‘real time’ but that’s not an option with having grown kids. I actually can’t wait to go back and fill in these cards…what a trip down memory lane it will be. (Let’s hope my 57 year old memory is in good working order!)

As for the mini albums, I am torn about the streamline look and feel of the bound album and the flexibility of the ring bound album. The ring bound albums take up so much space. As it is, those 12×12 albums (really 12×15 in actual size) don’t fit on my shelves. I am considering investing in the Ikea Expedit shelving or having custom bookcases made just for my albums. $$$$$ Don’t know when I can make that happen! Since I’m already committed to the 12×12 albums I don’t know about the mini albums for myself but I can sure see their usefulness for various people and situations. Maybe the mini album colors could sort of coordinate with your albums and/or the WRMemory Keepers albums since that seems to be what most of us use. Don’t know about anyone else, but I like my albums to match or coordinate in color on my shelves. :)

Maybe one that’s for girl and one that’s for a boy.

I like this idea…just worried I can’t afford it.

Starting my first project life book, doing a kids travel album the Wellington is perfect. How can you make us wait so long???

My thoughts on mini albums: YES YES YES YES YES WOW YES

:D

Oh, and my thoughts on other mini kits that would work for seasonal, holiday, celebrations, genealogy, history, story-telling, activities, camping, outdoors? YES YES YES. Especially an easy PL genealogy album, how friggin’ cool would that be?

LOVE the mini kits….but I am SO EXCITED about the mini albums!!!! I am an 8×8 scrapper so this is right up my alley!! Would be great if they had a label holder on their spine so we could tell what year the album is from (I am thinking of picking a different color for each of my sons and sticking with that for each year). Would LOVE a teal color binder (a really popular color right now that could be for a girl or boy…or an adult theme album). I personally love jewel tones, but a classic black and brown are great too. I can not WAIT for these kits & albums!! It just might convert me back from digital scrapbooking a bit. ;) lol Speaking of…any chance these kits and the baby kits might be digital at some time?

I am so excited about these! I want to go organize my kids’ stuff right now! I also love the idea of mini kits and mini albums. Add my vote to a vacation theme, a wedding theme, a recipes theme, and maybe even a kid’s art theme (could be used in a child’s big scrapbook or in a mini album dedicated to scanned kid’s art). Oh the possiblities!

A 3 ring binder would be much easier to work with. I like to be able to add or move around pages. I like Brandi’s idea of a recipe kit also!

I would find it more useful for me if they were 3 ring binders instead of having sewn in pages. Also, would you ever consider also doing a mini kit for recipes? I would LOVE to be able to incorporate project life into my kitchen…I think I just heard the angels sing lol. Oh the possibilities :) .
