Photo Diary by Brenda Caldow

It's Brenda here with you today and I would like to welcome you to Meg's Garden Blog and my DT post today is a small Photo Diary using the Parisian Gardens Collection.

I have made the Photo Diary using  a Fuji Film Scrapbooking Book which I purchased at the Harvey Norman after Christmas sale. I took one look and thought I know what I can make this into. Then I received my goodies pizza box from Meg and I thought perfect. 
Because of all the products I have used on my pages of the album I won't go into lots of writing but list the products I have used under the photos.

On the right side of the pages there is a frame mount made with cardstock to place the photo and on the left there are journal tags so you can do as much writing as you want about your photo. Also on each of the pages there are small areas where you can hand journal or make notes about the photo. 
Even though some of my embellishments go over edges of the photo mounts when the photos need to be placed I have made sure that I can tuck them in behind.
