I had the great pleasure of designing a beautiful Project 52 book. This book is a collection of photographs she took every week for an entire year. I love how her photographs tell a story! One fantastic feature of this book, I was quite easily able to adapt to the design of the book to her photography blog. For a comparison, check out her blog here!

Here are a few of the design layouts:

On Tuesday, I posted some photographs from our family Saturday morning biscuit baking!
I want to show some examples of how this can be translated to a photo book layout. I hope this inspires you to document your family meal and incorporate the photographs into your photo book.

I love homemade, flaky, hot-from-the-oven Southern Biscuits. I think I have shared this before, but I am not much of a cook. A couple of months after my husband and I got married, I tried to make dinner. Not only did I screw up the ingredients making the food absolutely inedible; I also broke one of our new dishes (gift from our registry) by putting it on the stove. After that experience, my husband suggested that he would make dinner from now on. And he is a fabulous cook…so it all worked out for me!
But, I can bake. Or at least I haven’t screwed up to much with baking. I make a mean carrot cake. Love baking the no-knead bread. And am fabulous with scones and biscuits.
So for the February Family Meal Challenge for my Family Photo Book, I prepared biscuits. It does not make for exciting photographs because all of the ingredients are a variation of white: flour, butter, milk. The key to great biscuits: keep your ingredients cold, flex your finger muscles when cutting in the butter and minimize the amount of mixing.
Here are some of the photographs from a quiet Saturday morning. I will include the recipe and book design layouts on Thursday!

One of our Christmas traditions is to bake, decorate and leave sugar cookies for Santa. While the holidays are always hectic and the lure of store-bought cookies would be very easy, I actually enjoy taking the time to make the cookies (and icing!) from scratch. This year I doubled the icing recipe for homemade carrot cake. I hope this is something I can keep up with as my kids get older. I think with each year, they will enjoy it more and more.
[hr] My youngest daughter can’t help yet, but she looked so adorable on Christmas Eve holding the cookie cutters.
My sister and I are rolling out the cookie dough (somewhat blurry photo from my husband who is learning to shoot manual!).
[hr] And my son did a fabulous job decorating the cookies.
[hr] He emptied the entire plastic jar of sprinkles, mostly on one cookie!
As a tradition, I will design a specific layout in our photo yearbook so each year we can see the cookies they decorated.
What are your Christmas traditions?
