Teachers from Around the World | Pocket Scrapbooking 2015
This year, I’m making weekly pocket scrapbooking spreads in addition to other forms of memory keeping, like monthly spreads for Day in the Life and thematic pages. I include monthly breaks in my album for all of the extra documenting I like to include over and above weekly documenting.

This is one of those extra in-between monthly breaks thematic pages! This page proceeds the first March weekly spread.
I documented how thankful I am that Eliza has teachers from all over the world and the benefits I see from learning from people from different cultural backgrounds. The photos are of maps displayed in a hallway in Eliza’s school. The maps pinpoint where in the world the different teachers originally lived.
I originally had a bit of trouble with this spread. I printed out the photos and moved on in my album, because all of the products I tried felt a little “blah”. Sometimes it is hard to work with photos that are mostly neutral colors if you don’t have just the right products to enhance the photos.
The maps in the Odyssey Studio Calico kit and the April Oh Deer Me kit got me out of that rut: they yellows, blues, and tiny bits of green pulled the colors out of my photos and the products supported the theme perfectly.
Because weekly pocket scrapbookers like myself document as we go, you might feel like you “have” to complete a page or spread even though you are stuck. But as long as you have the photos and the stories to draw from, there’s nothing that says you can’t skip it until you get that inspired lightbulb moment!
Selected Supplies: Freckled Fawn April Oh Deer Me kit and wood chip words // Studio Calico 4×6 paper pad and Project Life kits // Becky Higgins Project Life Design A pocket protector and journaling pens.
