New 2012 Family Photobook

I am so happy to finally announce the new 2012 Family Photobook.  I have been searching all the great kits created by some of my favorite designers and finally chose one to use for this photobook.  It is called “Small Talk” by Fei Fei’s Stuff and TaylorMade Designs.

I love the colours in this digital kit and the element are so versatile which makes it a great choice for a full year album.  I will also be using this fantastic word art kit from TaylorMade Designs:

This is the cover page for the 2012 Family Album:

The photo for the cover page can be whatever you want it to be, but I am waiting for a great shot of our family to put on my cover!

If you are interested in having a family album for 2012, I am trying something a little different and hopefully easier for you.  We (you and I) will be working on this album every month.  At the end of each month all you have to do is email me 10-12 photos that you want in your album for that month and a short note about those photos and memories.  Here is an example:

And here are the pages that I created using the information provided and the photos:

Inside Title Page

January Page 1

January Page 2

Extra Page 1

This book will be a 38 page 10″ x 10″ photobook with custom front and back covers.  Each month will be a 2-page layout except December which will be 4 pages.  That leaves 4 extra 2-page layouts that can be used at any time you choose if you have a special event that you want to include (birthdays, anniversary, date night, vacation, etc). The book will then be printed at the beginning of January 2013.

The price will be $250.00 for the photobook.  If you would like, you can pay in full by the end of February 2012 or do two payments of $125.00 due Feb 29, 2012 and July 31, 2012.

I hope this will be a project that we can work on together and help you get your family memories organized and printed.  It is easier to go through a hundred photos every month than a thousand at the end of the year!

If you are interested in starting this photobook project or would like more information, please leave a comment or email me: lfedynak@gmail.com.

Winter Drink Recipe

I started this blog to help promote my photobook business and to share some of my scrapbooking layouts.  But sometimes I have unrelated topics to share and I couldn’t figure out if I should post them here or not.  Then it occurred to me, do a scrapbook layout incorporating what I want to share.  That will make it relevant to the purpose of this blog and I won’t be making this “Leah’s Favorite Crafts and Other Things” blog.  So here is my layout sharing a recipe that my father-in-law gave me.  He is a big believer in natural remedies and this drink helps fight off cold bugs when they first start.  I thought this would be the perfect thing to share on a cold (-27 C) Alberta winter day!

Tomorrow I will be announcing the new 2012 Family Photobook project, so please check back for details.

The one thing I have complained about all year is the terrible pictures my camera takes!  Do you know how hard it is to make a nice layout with crummy photos?  Well, let’s just say it is not any fun!!  So my wonderful husband searched all the Boxing Day deals and bought me a new camera.  We now have the Canon Rebel T3i and I am in love with it.  I barely know how to use it but the pictures it takes are amazing!!  I am excited to scrapbook one again now that I have some great photos to work with.  Here is a layout of a photo I took with Robyn and her Grandpa Kennedy:

Also, I am still giving away the free Wall Art from my previous post.  All you have to do is “Follow” my blog at the end of this post.
