Back at the start of the year one of my goals for 2015 was to take a photo a day for 2015 and to make a slam book. I decided to combine the two ideas by making a slam page for each photo.
I haven't managed to take a photo every single day, but have taken one most days. I also haven't kept up with the slam book and I am quite a few weeks behind. I am not sure if I will carry on with it or not, it was fun at first, I enjoyed being a bit ruthless with which papers to choose, but now I am so behind it feels a bit like a burden. At first I was printing off the photos really regularly at an instant photo place, and I was doing a few pages a couple of times a week, but it was costing too much money so I decided to stop that and print them less frequently online, however this caused me to become more and more behind because I had to make it worth the postage so was saving them up. The more recent pages have also had less time spent on them so I feel they aren't as good, but I suppose the whole point is to stop me being so particular about each photo. But this is also part of the problem with keeping up with it, I still find myself agonising too much about every single page, and that just takes too much time. So we shall see if I continue with it or not.
Anyway in spite of not being able to keep up with it I thought you might like to see a few of the pages I have done (showing people the book is probably my favorite thing about it, after all what is the point of art without an audience?)

Best Friend Scrap Book Pages
Recently my best girlfriend turned 30, the day before I turned 31. We have been friends since before I can remember and I am so thankful to have her in my life.
For her birthday her lovely husband came up with a brilliant idea to create a "This is Your Life" style scrap book containing photos and journalling with fun and happy memories from our life. I couldn't wait to get started, especially because I don't get to do much craft these days because I have so little free time, what I do do is usually for other people.
In an ideal world I would have had photos of us as children but they are all at my parents house so the pages contained fairly recent photos.
I used scrap booking papers from my stash, a few flower embellishments and some tags for journalling.
