Did you know that you can make fireworks in a jar? Don’t they look so cool!
I added another flip up pocket to this spread using washi tape. You can find complete directions on how to make a flip up pocket here.

You are so creative! I love the use of the washi tape!
Thanks Logan!
Wow, fireworks in a jar? I would’ve never thought of that! Also, I didn’t realize you stayed in Louisiana Paris. Pinning!
Thanks Louida! Yep I live in Louisiana, is that good or bad? 🙂
I am so impressed with people who scrapbook, takes the family photos to another level!
Thank you Skye! S loves to look back through all the albums.
Your scrapbook looks lovely, I love your photography. I began a scrapbook for my little one when he was born but have neglected it as of late, your inspiring me to get going on it once again 🙂

Thank you so much Fiona! I know after S was born it was a while before I was able to dedicate any time to scrapbooking.
Mom of the Year goes to YOU!! Not only do you document life through your blog but you create such beautiful books full of happiness and fond memories!
Thank you Stephanie, you are so sweet!
What an awesome way to preserve memories and moements. Love this.
Thanks Tiffany; S loves to look back through the albums!
How fun! I have talked about doing project life for so long and just never take the time to sit down and do it. This makes me want to do it even more!
Project Life can be as simple or complex as you want which is so nice! There are days when I just want to record the story and stick in the pocket and other days when I want to embellish.
That is absolutely gorgeous–it’s like the perfect combo between a photograph album and a scrapbook!
Exactly Natalie!
Fireworks in a jar- love it! Nice scrapbook pages. Fun to make and to enjoy the memories later in time.
Thank you Elaine! S loves to look through my albums.
The doggy parade sounds like so much fun! And I have to say that I’ve never seen fireworks in a jar. How awesome! I really thing you should get mother of the year award because of all the cool things you do with your daughter. I’m in awe!
You are so sweet Alli!
