With school in full swing and anxiously looking forward to Halloween and the holidays, it already feels like summer was ages ago.  I thought it might be fun to put together a set of mini albums with Henry of our adventures this summer from our instagram photos. We made four mini albums and each album is a different trip we took: Fire Island, Utah, Santa Cruz, and a general SF Summer. My favorite part was sitting down together and adding notes on the back of each one to record something specific we wanted to remember about that photo memory.

Assisted by Sara Albers and Sarah Iveson (our new holiday intern!) 

Supplies: Mini matchbook albums (I bought mine here), instagram images printed in mini size (I printed minisquares from here), glue, pen

Tips: The mini matchbook albums are great because the pages come out so you can easily glue the photos, add notes, and then put the book together afterwards.

We decorated each album with my mini stamp set and then also stamped summer 2014 on the back of each one to create a little collection.

Henry keeps them under his bed, in a box of treasures. I’m hoping to make this a tradition and make a set of mini albums every summer.
