For a while, I&#8217;ve wanted to document what I read throughout the year, and I have finally decided to pull the trigger.  I chose the Life Crafted Album from <a href=\"https:\/\/citrustwistkits.com\/collections\/albums-notebooks\">Citrus Twist Kits<\/a>, because it seemed like an approachable size: not too big, not too small.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200124_161928-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2113\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200124_161928-450x600.jpg 450w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200124_161928-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200124_161928-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The first layout I did for this album is about Jenny Colgan&#8217;s <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Little<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/30Q8uPg\"> Beach Street Bakery<\/a><\/span> series.  These funny and sweet books set in on an island off of Cornwall in the UK, had been a  fluffy, wonderful distraction while I&#8217;ve been recovering from hand surgery.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200124_161847-1-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2116\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200124_161847-1-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200124_161847-1-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200124_161847-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I loved how quickly this layout came together, even though I&#8217;m still getting used to the new size. The stamps come from Ali Edwards&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/aliedwards.com\/shop\/read-collection\">Read kit<\/a>, and from Kellie Purkey&#8217;s<a href=\"https:\/\/kellypurkeyshop.com\/collections\/stamp-sets\"> Freshly Baked<\/a> set.   I wanted to be thoughtful about the stamps I used for journaling, because I want to use them throughout the album as I create new layouts.  I&#8217;m excited about this album, and am looking forward to documenting what I read throughout the year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This post contains affiliate links.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New year, new album!
