Tell The Story

Tell the Story and Be Part of the Story

I love photo albums. I could look through them all day! 

Each photo has a story. We may not remember the date or the day but we remember the who, the what and the where.

I enjoy making these mini albums. Creating doodle picture frames around the photo. Pairing it with a scripture verse. As the next generation flips through the books they will not only see a capture of special days but they will see reminders of God's grace and love. In my own doodle handwriting they have a snapshot of favorite scriptures where they can find hope, comfort and love.

Some Supplies

This small notebook with black pages can be found at Michaels in the isle with the planner notebooks. It is the perfect size for a 2x3 photo and room for text.

I enjoy using these white gel Uni-ball Signo pens. They can be found at all craft stores, Target and on Amazon. Fine point chalk markers work well too. Using one color of gel ink keeps my mind from going into the clothes dryer effect ... with my mind tumbling over and over trying to decide what colors to use .

I love my HP Sproket mini printer for my phone.  I can print 2x3 prints. The back peels off to expose a sticker surface that allows me to place directly in the mini album without needing glue or tape. 

There are many versions of mini printers for phones. Check them out.

I love using the Apple app VRSLY to add text to my photos. Pic Monkey is a photo editing program that I use as  well.

Doodle frames around photos and text gives the page a fun look.

Doodle lettering is very forgiving.  Large lettering catches the eye. A simple frame gives the message a home.

Adding color to the doodle gives a dimensional look. Happy letters!

I am adding a cloth cover to this mini album.

This is how I draw flowers...I doodle them. They always end up somewhere in the project.

And so we tell tell the next generation of the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power and the wonders he has done. Psalm 78:4

Print some photos. Place them in an album. Start small. Use your own handwriting to share the who, what and the where. Give it your own special touch. Tell the story. Be part of the story.
