This project was part 2 from our week 2 assignment. It was the anticipated portion of our anticipation observation. I chose my daughter's 13th birthday to be what I planned for early in the spring, and then what was observed by way of this memory file later in the spring.
It was a wonderful exercise.
This particular memory file started with a Cavalini file, and then I added another file to it using Teresa Collins papers. This file allowed me to have a mini to show off the decorations. Then the bottom flippable book was our family and friend party. This really allowed me to focus on the 13 year old and truly capture who she is right now. Then the mini file is home to her cards plus photos from her friends and her at the pool the next day.
Sigh...I love these files every time I look through them. So, so thankful I took this class. It lead to such a wonderful collection of stories I might not otherwise would have captured.
Now...is there a story out there you have not told yet?
Go. And tell your story.
Beautiful project and what a great idea to store all the cards in the folder as well. I am working on my first memory folder and loving it. Its amazing how many pictures you can get on these pages. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how you make your files? So you just cover regular manila folders with paper you already have? Thank you and I so wish I had taken this class.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful file!!! This is so you Jamie! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your Art of Observation projects, they are all fantastic. This one is another great one! What a wonderful way to preserve memories!
ReplyDeleteAww...Jamie, I would give so much to be able to look at it in RL ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour file is absolutely gorgeous!
you have totally inspired me to have a go at them and meeting Heidi at the CHA was so refreshing. I've always loved her style and I think you are the BEST ambassador she could dream of having in her team!
Thank you for sharing...please send my love to the beautiful Avery!
