Scrapping with Liz

2025 Album Complete!

It’s finished—my 2025 scrapbook album! For the final page, I created a single 12×12 layout since I didn’t take many photos during the last few days of the year. We spent most of that time relaxing around the house, which meant fewer pictures—but honestly, it was the perfect way to rest and reset before the new year.

As I’m typing this, I’m uploading my pages to Shutterfly so I can order the album and take advantage of the sale happening right now!

I really enjoyed creating this year’s album in a photo-pocket style, but I’m especially excited to try something new with my Tell Your Story template series. These have a clean, graphic, zine-inspired feel that I’m loving. For my first page of 2026, I’ll be starting with photos from Thursday, January 1st through Saturday, January 10th as my “first week”—just in case you were wondering how I’m kicking things off.

I’ll be back next weekend to share my very first page of 2026!

2025 Recap and 2026 Goals

It’s time to do a little reflecting on 2025—and then look ahead to 2026.

These were the goals I shared on my blog last year:

Create a family album that includes a double-page spread (as usual).
Finish my Hawaii album.
Begin and complete a scrapbook album for my next graduating daughter—she graduates this spring, and I haven’t started yet! This is a big goal, but I’m excited to dive in.

Looking back, I’m really pleased with how the year went. I finished my 2025 album, made solid progress on my Hawaii album (even though it isn’t quite finished yet), and started my daughter’s graduation album—which is almost done! I also completed all of my December Daily pages (bonus!). While I didn’t check off every single goal, I accomplished quite a bit, and that feels like a win.

For 2026, my goals will look very similar:

Complete a double-page weekly family album using my NEW Tell Your Story Template series
Finish my Hawaii album
Complete my daughter’s graduation album

And here are the official numbers for 2025—my most pages scrapped since 2020.

NEW 2026 Templates that will help Tell Your Story!

🎉 This week’s new templates—NEW Tell Your Story, January Monthly Notes, January Moments, Album Cover and 2026 Title Templates make it super easy for you to document your year. 📸✨

Tell Your Story will be my new double-page spread series for 2026. I’m designing these with a simple, magazine-style feel—perfect for using just photos and journaling or layering in as many fun digi products as you’d like. I’ll be using these to personally document my family’s year, and I can’t wait to start using them at the end of this week!

January Notes and January Moments will also be brand-new 2026 monthly series. These are designed to help you scrapbook a meaningful recap of each month.

And finally, I had to create some 2026 cover page templates—the perfect way to kick off a brand-new album for the year ahead!

2026 FREEBIE

It’s almost the beginning of a new year, which means a FREEBIE to help you get started on your 2026 album! This year, I created a 2026 cutout that you can use for a digital or hybrid cover page—or any other 2026 project you have going on. I hope it motivates you to begin documenting your 2026 album.

I also have some NEW template series (yes, plural!) coming to the store in 2026 that will help you document the year in a variety of ways. I think you’re going to love them. They’ll be available in the shop on January 2nd.

All of my previous yearly FREEBIE are still available here.

Week 52 & Some More Pages!

It was Christmas week, and there were so many moments I wanted to remember. I’m thankful this page included a large journaling spot—it gave me the space to capture it all. I also managed to scrapbook a few more pages for my daughter’s album, plus another page for my December album and even the cover page. I think this year is wrapping up nicely.
