T42 Challenge for the fortnight 24th Apr-15th May is to us my new Albums in a Pocket!

[Meryl]

We had lots of fun, tea and koeksusters at T42 today - and i was so excited that you were all excited about the Album in my Pocket Badge Albums (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&keyword=album+my+pocket&search_in_description=1&categories_id=104&inc_subcat=1&manufacturers_id=15&pfrom=&pto=&dfrom=&dto=&x=28&y=5.html)!

For next challenge you have a fortnight as I am away (camping in the bush!) for 10 days - use any or all of the Album in my Pocket Badge Albums (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&keyword=album+my+pocket&search_in_description=1&categories_id=104&inc_subcat=1&manufacturers_id=15&pfrom=&pto=&dfrom=&dto=&x=28&y=5.html) and post the in the T42 Gallery (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=2621) before the chat on May 15th. When you upload, they could be single pages of a combination like FormbyGirl has done with her My Family in My Pocket (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=256594)

We will have lucky draws and FIVE of you will win a set of the next new albums that i have designed! And don't forget, there is a posting bonus for each set too! (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/search.php?searchid=162275)

Well I guess I should put my link in the right place....LOL. I'm not sure I can put an album in the T42 gallery, so I created an album and put it in my own gallery. Here is a link to my Beach Pocket Album:

Beach Album in My Pocket (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=5833&ppuser=46431)

Now I just have to print and put it together!!!

Additional INFO:

I did some searching online here in the U.S. and found the badge holders very inexpensively at many of the office supply stores, such as Office Depot, Office Max and Staples. Generally, they were $10 for a pack of 50 or so. Instead of ordering online, I am going to check our local retailers and see if I can save on the shipping costs. I have many old photos that I have wanted to use, but the quality is so poor, they would not stand up to any type of enlargement. These little albums will allow me to reduce the size of the photos and still produce a memory album that will be darling to give as a gift, or stick in my handbag!!! What an awesome idea Meryl!!!!

P.S. With some of my high quality photos, I plan on enlarging the album pages to a height of 4". The length will be a bit short of 6", but I think they will work fine in a
4" x 6" album. I have several of these that I got for paper crafting and have never used!

Here is mine- using the beautiful beach version of the Pocket series: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=256925
I have them printed out ready to make up my memory book of our recent break in Cornwall. It was great fun doing these and it is a product I will definitely use over and over.

Here is mine, this is really a nice idea Meryl.

I changed the "Beach" title to "Florida" and used that album for photos of my DD's family Easter vacation with us in Florida.

Now, on to a couple more of these albums!!! They are positively addictive!

Meryl,
This was confusing! I looked at the "Contests" area on May 8th and I thought I had missed this! Then, late last night I found the forum challenge that said we had until today to do this! I thought I had until midnight and I took my time! So here it is!

Like everyone else I adore these fabulous little albums! I did my first one of my daughter's recent trip. She gave me so many photos to scrap, this was a lovely way to get started putting together some little albums. The size is perfect for her to be able to carry around to show all her friends that want to know about the trip. I used the 12 pages to scrap photos from the first day. She was gone 6 weeks so I guess I will be using a lot more of these! lol.
