Vintage Photo Journal

What better way to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon…

Than listening to the rain drops hit the tin roof, while creating a beautiful Vintage Photo Journal.

There was slightly more than raindrops going on in the background - there was also a little “Blue Rodeo” wafting away as well.

A rainy day, great tunes and fabulous prints and images from My Porch Prints.

This album was created with all printable papers, images, and even the mock photos.

You can most certainly add your own photos. I plan to do another one and add in the actual vintage photos from my parents wedding. What a memorable keepsake that will be…

You can find everything you need to create this French Country Album in the My Porch Prints Etsy Shop.

If you’re addicted to beautiful papers & journal making (like me) - you’ll love this shop. In fact, I just went there to grab the link to share and ended up purchasing another journal kit… oh my!

When embarking on your paper project, start by printing the specific templates as a guideline. These templates serve as a fantastic jumping-off point, ensuring your project has that beautiful, balanced structure. But don’t stop there! This is where the magic happens—let your creativity run wild by adding your own personal touches.

With a selection of gorgeous papers at your disposal, explore textures, patterns, and colours that resonate with your style. The fun vintage vibe of many paper designs adds character and charm to your creations. Think polka dots, florals, and aged textures that tell a story of their own.

As you layer and arrange your pieces, consider embellishments like ribbons, buttons, paper clips or vintage ephemera. These little details can elevate your journal from lovely to absolutely stunning. Experiment with different placements and combinations until you find the perfect balance.

Infuse your personality into each journal. Enjoy the process of crafting beautiful, handmade journals that tell your story.

Add a few raindrops and some favorite musical notes… and you have all the elements for a perfect project!
